Sharon started her career in a small auto shop and gained great

experience. She then worked at several businesses until her last at Quest

Diagnostic in NJ in Human Resources. While working there she went to St.

Elizabeth College in Madison NJ and received her Bachelors in Human

Resources. When her father passed away in 2012, it gave her the desire

and passion to become a nurse, and a good one at that. Sharon moved

with her mother to Myrtle Beach in the spring of 2018. She loved it here,

especially the weather, no more shoveling snow and driving in horrible

weather. Being a nurse, she was always on call. Sharon worked at

Morristown Memorial Hospital in NJ. and Grand Strand Regional Hospital in

Myrtle Beach. Her last employment was with Coastal Cancer Center of

Myrtle Beach which became her home where she met so many fabulous

friends that helped her through her illness.

Sharon loved going to Pawley’s Island for sunsets and maybe one or two

sunrises and walks on the beach looking for shells with Lance. She

became quite knowledgeable on the shells she found. She enjoyed being

a nurse and helping people with her compassion and love which made her

an exceptional nurse. Sharon just started painting with water colors, and

she would have been wonderful at it. Her father’s mother had so much

talent in painting.

Sharon will always be remembered for her loving heart and giving

nature.>>She was known for her kind spirit and genuine love for her family

and friends.>>Her gentle presence and warm smile will deeply be missed by

all those who knew her.

A memorial service will be scheduled in the future.
