Sharon was such a good friend to all of us who got to work with her during her years at Lodi Good Samaritan Center. She loved to see the happiness of the residents when they got to enjoy the beautiful desserts she created, or simply the care she gave them as she worked with the kitchen team. She often made fun crafts at home and brought them in quantity to share with residents and co-workers: things such as simple sock snowmen to decorate the tables, or patchwork wreaths to hang on the wall near your door. Somehow, she never stopped with one - but made a supply to share. Her eyes would sparkle when she talked about her grandchildren. Kathy White

I worked with Sharon at Grabers. She was always very sweet and kind and very funny! I always loved her laugh! She also made the most beautiful wedding cake, and yummy too for my husband and I when we got married. I’ll always remember you Sharon. Rest in peace. XO. Jodie Spahn
