Sharon was very involved in the community such as, Chairman for the American Cancer and Heart Association of NW ND, president and board member of Lakeview Historical Pioneer Village in Kenmare, president, vice president, and board member of Kenmare Chamber of Commerce and president of Berthold Park Board.

In her later years, she loved to attend all of her grandchildren’s activities. She never missed their events.
