Sharon lived a life filled with faith, music, and joy. She loved God with all her heart, soul, mind, and strength, and she loved her neighbor as herself. She was the personification of the scripture, "the last shall be first and the first last," always putting others before herself.

A talented musician, Sharon played guitar, fiddle, bass, and piano, glorifying God with her gifts and bringing joy to everyone who heard her. She was a faithful member of Packsaddle Community Church, where she shared her love of Jesus with all who met her. Every day, without fail, she sought first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.

Sharon married the love of her life, Guy Taylor, and together they enjoyed countless adventures, especially camping and fishing trips. She cherished every moment spent with her daughters and her beloved granddaughter, filling their lives with warmth, laughter, encouragement, and peace. She loved bringing tranquility and unity to her family, for, "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God."

For many years, Sharon worked as a realtor, helping families find their dream homes. Later, she realized one of her lifelong dreams by establishing Travelers Lane RV Park in Waldron, creating a welcoming place where others could gather and enjoy the beauty of God's Creation.
