Sharon's remarkable journey came to an end in the city where she spent her final years, but her legacy endures through the lives she touched. Friends and family will remember her not only for her nurturing spirit and infectious laughter but also for the strength she showed in both her joys and challenges.

As we reflect on her life, we honor Sharon M. Cooper, who remains a beacon of love, wisdom, and resilience, forever cherished in the hearts of those who knew her.
