On December 15th, 1962, Sharon married the love and man of her life, Larry Jackson. Sharon and Larry shared over 58 years of marriage and gave birth to three sons, Larry, Bobby and Steve.

Sharon was a lifelong, devoted, and active member of Capitol City Church. She took great pride in doing the Lord’s work by leading and organizing meals for activities such as weddings, funerals, anniversaries, graduations, and Capitol City’s annual Easter breakfast. Sharon was also leading a local missionary outreach team for Capitol City’s “City Serve” ministry. Sharon’s team was in charge of distributing gift baskets to the Polk County Sheriff’s Department.

Sharon also dedicated her life to supporting her sons, grandkids, and great-grandkids in all of their various activities. Whether it was dirt track racing or high school track, baseball, football or softball fields, or volleyball courts, dance recitals and wrestling meets, Sharon was going to be there.

In recent years Sharon enjoyed spending time with her husband Larry watching Cyclones football and basketball games and Royals baseball games.
