We are sad to hear about the passing of Sharon. Sharon was a very nice person and it was always so good to run into her over the years since leaving SFAAP. Sharon was a hard worker and we considered her a friend. Our thoughts are with her family and friends.
I went through grade school and high school with Sharon. I sadly lost track of her and her family over the years. I am sorry for your loss. Our connection in school was she and I were two of the three “Sharon’s” in our class.
I played softball with Sharon
in the 70’s . She was a very nice person & fun to be around. I’m sorry that she left us before her time.
Steve and I are so sorry for your loss.
Our prayers are with you and your family always.

Dear Rhonda and family,
So sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Remember she will always be with you in your hearts. Take care.
Sharon was a most gentle person. I enjoyed visiting her at the farm. I’m sorry to hear that she passed on too soon. I did not know that she was ill. My condolences.
I worked with Sharon at Marley co. I also played softball with her. She was a very good player with a heck of an arm. So sorry to hear of her passing. I lost track of her over the years, she was a fun and great person.
Dear Eddie,Charlotte and the the families of Sharon Stolemaker. My deepest sympathy in the loss of your sister. May God be with you in this most difficult time.
Rhonda, Cherry and families, we are sorry to hear about the loss of your sister. You are in our thoughts.
I met Sharon through softball, she really had an arm, my hand still hurts!
We got to be very good friends, had some really fun times together, from softball tournaments to fishing, among many other things.
Went to Colorado with her, first time she ever saw the Rockies, she wanted to climb them, till we got on them.
I will miss, and cherish our memories.
Rest in Peace old Friend.
