Family memories

Sharon’s passion for her beliefs were strong she was always willing to argue her side and listen to others if they could get a word in. She was most often drawn to take the underdog’s side of situations. She encouraged her loved ones to be all that they desired. She never met a stranger. She seldom bit her tongue. She did not believe in Heart Healthy diets or going green. Ladies wear your pearls and diamonds don’t save them for a special day and buy that bottle of expensive cologne and wear it every day. Sharon held the nick name of Betty Crocker in her family. She gave the people she loved the gift of her favorite recipes. Family favorites were her homemade chicken and noodles, homemade cinnamon rolls at Christmas and special Birthday cakes. These family favorites will be missed. Her daughter Leatha say she was taught these favorites by her mother. At all family gatherings, the whole family joked about being on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and EVERYONE agreed that Sharon would be our lifeline - she knew so much about everything!!! Roses -- the whole family knew your favorite color was yellow and especially your fondness of yellow roses. As you cross the threshold to a new life, your family will remember your life here on earth represented here today by the many shades of yellow floral bouquet. At all family gatherings we all knew we would have spirited debates on many topics – because Sharon was our influence Voted into the family - when a family member got married, new girlfriend, boyfriend, etc. they would have to be voted into the family by the “Biggers Girls.” Sharon your life was far too short; your passing will be grieved by your friends and family. You endured many trips to the hospital and treatments that resulted in much discomfort. As your sister it was painful to watch you endure chemo therapy, radiation and lose of your hair and hear how painful it was when the heart defibrillator activated. Sharon n
