She had her own challenges in life, and often found it difficult to cope. Share was loved by her extended family and her friends and neighbours and she always tried to brighten the lives of those she knew.
Her remains reposed at her home in Highfield, where huge numbers called to pay their respects to Sharon and her family, a testimony to the esteem in which she was held within the community.
