They met as kids who lived next door to each other, and after a brief period where Sharon taunted Bill and threw rocks at him (how all good romances start!), they fell in love and were married on August 21, 1965. She is also survived by her four children who filled her world with love: William A. Jones and his wife Stella of Simpsonville, KY; Jennifer L.

In 1984 her family moved to Erie, PA and she worked for a number of years in the Millcreek School District, especially McDowell Intermediate High School and Ridgefield Elementary.
