She was born on September 10 1943 to Afton Mae Backus and Wells Halverson. She had 2 younger brothers, Dee (deceased) and Michael J. She was so loved by her grandparents, they became like parents to her, and her mother's brothers and sisters were like her brothers and sisters.

Mom was an avid reader. She loved books. So, she found the perfect job when she started working at the Spanish Fork Public Library. She loved the friends she made there, and all the memories made with them.
She made friends wherever she went. Many of them have graduated from this life, but we know they will all pick up where they left off. She loved traveling with her friends, as well as her Aunt Bonnie, Uncle Bob, and Aunt Judy Backus, who treated her like their little sister.
She had many interests and hobbies, reading being first and foremost, with sewing, crocheting, music, baking, making Christmas candy, scrapbooking, creating dolls all coming in the long list. She loved listening to music by Neil Diamond, Michael Ball and Josh Groban especially.
Sharon was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and had served as a Visiting Teacher, a Primary teacher, and her favorite: the Ward Librarian.
Sharon is preceded in death by her husband, Ross, her parents and beloved grandparents, James and Lula Backus, brother Dee, and some favorite cousins and friends.
