Sharon and Kenneth enjoyed dancing excursions attending their daughters many activities and traveling in their motorhome. A few of their destinations included: Montana, Tennessee, and Florida, and more local get-aways to Lake Cornelia and Brushy Creek. A favorite trip was when they went to Hawaii.

Sharon had a strong faith life and and instilled this value in her children. She, Kenneth, and the family had attended First Lutheran Church, Clarion, Samuel Lutheran Church, Eagle Grove, and following her return to Belmond , Sharon attended Belmond United Methodist Church.
