One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there were Read Obituary
Sharon helped me at a time when I had apprehension in life. She was very wise and helpful and funny. I am sad to hear of her death. I miss her and I'm sure she is missed by many people.
I used to see Miss Rose twice a week at one point, and I remember her telling me she had a Boston Terrier. I couldn’t help but ask, “Just one?!” She laughed and said, “Yeah, so?” For the next month, I kept gently insisting she needed to get another so her pup wouldn’t be lonely. Not long after, she spent an entire session showing me pictures of her new dog—and I felt like I had something to do with that!
Miss Rose helped guide me out of a place I truly believed I’d be stuck in forever. I didn’t think I’d ever feel light in the world again, but little by little, she helped me find my way back. From 7th through 12th grade, she wasn’t just my therapist—she became my safe space, my biggest supporter, and honestly, my best friend.
I’ve never been a particularly religious person, but I truly believe meeting her was a gift from above. She changed my life in the most beautiful way
Sharon helped my husband and I for over a year in therapy. We both found her so easy to talk to and she really guided us both through our challenges. She was so genuine and kind, we always looked forward to talking to her. Rest in peace Sharon
Sharon was my therapist for several years. She was always kind, supportive, and non-judgmental, providing advice with a sense of humor. I am forever grateful for the progress she helped me make, and I miss our sessions.
When I met Sharon I was at the lowest point in my mental health that I had ever been in my life. At our first meeting she insisted that she thought I should be medicated in order to make it through that point in my life. I declined and resisted. From 2018 to 2025 she counseled me. Sharon and I frequently joked about how she was so convinced that I needed medication and I was convinced that I could do life without it. She never forgot to mention that she was proud of me for making it all this time without medication and surprised. We laughed about that often. Sharon watched my child grow up before her eyes and always asked after her. Even though Sharon was not a mother herself she understood what it meant to love so deeply for family, that you would do anything for your own. Sharon understood me like very few others. She also became my couples counselor roughly two years ago. She has helped my husband and I understand one another on a new level, and be more compassionate towards one another, and remember why we fell in love. She might have been my counselor at the start of our client patient relationship but, over the years I also counted her as a friend. Her laugh, and her smile, and her sense of humor, will stick out in my memories of her. I will strive to continue to make her proud, she's with her husband now and her other departed loved ones. She feels no pain, no discomfort, and she taught me to believe in myself to the fullest. I will miss her and so will my daughter. Rest in peace Sharon.
Sharon was a gentle soul. She felt so much empathy for others and we spent many hours together, enjoying cheese and wine and philosophizing about the meaning of it all. She genuinely cared about her clients; in the last year of her life, although she struggled so much with her health issues, she still tried to see them. I think she defined herself as a mental health counselor and a caregiver. I miss her. Cindy, sister-in-law.
There were times in my life when I can say that I was at my best, surrounded by others who were also being their best selves. One of those times were my high school years. In high school, I knew Sharon as one of my very best friends and confidantes, always up for fun and harmless pranks. We were so in tune that we'd finish each other's sentences! Those memories are golden. I am so sorry for Sharon's family's loss and I hope that they find solace in memorializing her.
Sharon was such a kind and compassionate person, yet funny and straight to the point when giving guidance. She had a way of highlighting strengths you never knew you had and helping you to use those to make the hard things a little better. She will be dearly missed
