Sharon worked at Primary Children’s Hospital as a Continuing Education Manager until forced to retire due to illness. Her greatest joys were her grandchildren and she relished the time spent with them. She fought her illness valiantly and, through all of the pain and hardship, managed to find joy, a reason to laugh and smile every day. Preceded in death by her father and mother. Survived by a daughter, Kimberly Ann Drabner (Spring Hill, TN); a son, Robert Todd Drabner; her grandchildren, Anthony Ballamis, Sara Moroni, and Alex Drabner; a brother, Ronald (Beverly) Martin; sisters, Raylene (Leroy) Gunn, and Colleen (Jerry) Eversole and many nieces, nephews, and friends who brought happiness to her life. A special thank you to Betty Miller for everything. Sharon was the life of a party and will be remembered as such by those that love her.

Pavant Circle (3785 South), from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. for those who wish to join in a celebration of her life.
