Sharon spent years being a busy home marker, gardening, sewing, crafting, crocheting and making homemade meals for get-togethers with family and friends. Sharon then started working as a disability support worker until she got hired at INL. Being blessed with a good job Sharon was able to purchase her house in Pocatello which she was proud to call her home.
