Craig, Bill and Spencer,
I don’t need to tell you three, your Mom was ONE IN A MILLION; God just happened to bless you with her and place Sharon as a young woman in Greenview. . .where she made a huge impact. Like others whose lives she touched, Sharon not only fed me any chance she got. . .but also just watching her dash about doing her thing was inspiring. She didn’t mess around wasting time on being unproductive or making excuses- she was doer! Hopefully present community minded individuals will step up and take their place with Sharon in mind. Very Sincerely, Rodney Dimmick

To Sharon‘s sons and families: On behalf of Marbold Farmstead, we offer our sincere condolences on the loss of such a kind, dedicated, dynamic woman as your mom.
She was always willing to give of herself to make sure that others had what they needed. She had a world of friends because of her giving, humorous, thoughtful nature.
She was truly an angel on earth and now she joins those in the hereafter. We’ll miss her, but nothing can extinguish the bright light she left!! H. M. F. A. Greenview

I have so many memories of Sharon, as I was a member of the Schurman family for many years. She was always so much fun and it was a joy to see her come through the door of the Schurman house. My dog actually bit Sharon, and although we had to go to the ER in Springfield, she was a super good sport about it and didn’t blame my dog at all. (Thanks Sharon). She was just a good person and will be missed by so many. She also gave rides to my mother, who served senior meals in Athens. I am so sad to hear this news. I hope she and Pat are sitting on a porch somewhere having a cocktail. They both deserve it!

Sharon was always ready to help and work hard for whatever community cause was at hand. I enjoyed working alongside her and watch her in her element. She is a great example of a servant.
