Sharon was always uplifting when I was going through some cancer challenges myself. She was always a joy to work with on the Wilson 61 Reunions, I always looked forward to talking to her at our quarterly planning luncheons. Thanks you Sharon and family. She will be greatly missed. Dave Lindley
It seems like a lifetime and just yesterday, all at once, when my mom introduced us to her long time friend Sharon. We were all so young then. Funny thing is in my mind I don't feel much older than I did then. That is how Sharon lived her life ageless.
I've known Sharon since she was 15. We worked at the
sunset theater together when we were 16.
Sharon was known for her wonderful parties,which I attended many. She had one every summer and before Christmas,except for 2016 when she lost her energy and started to feel bad.
She learned to play Pinochle and joined a monthly club,plus towards the end us girls [pat,bev and me] played weekly.
We went to the casino together and out to lunch frequently.
I miss he phone calls, "Connie what day can you play cards next week?"
She arranged for us girls to get together according to our schedules. I miss you Sharon.
I first met Sharon in 1982 and always looked forward to seeing and talking to her in my office over the years. She was always a special person and a joy to be around. I am truly sorry for your loss, and grateful that I knew her. Randy K Eaton
Dear Keith,
Words cannot begin to express my sympathy. I treasure the many visits that Sharon, you and I had together. I've been keeping you two in my prayers. I know how much the two of you love each other, and I will pray for comfort and peace for you and your family.

I am sad to know that Sharon has left her friends and family, including me. I met Sharon at our father's funeral years ago and as I looked in her eyes, it was our father I saw. So definitely a Cuoio. Our visits were brief but I was glad to hear about others' visits with her. Age and distance were covered with a Christmas card & sweet birthday wishes to me every year without fail. I will continue to remember Keith and family as they have lost a kind, genuine and fearless woman.
Sincerely
Mary Ann Cuoio Adams

Sharon has been my friend since 1958. We worked together at the Sunset theater. Connie, Barbara, Sharon and Kathy! What a crew. We are still friends to this day. I will miss her sense of humor, her fantastic smile and her love of life. My condolences and prayers go out to all of her family. Much love. Kathy Markovich Pogue
Keith and Family,
Sharon was a great friend and fellow Car Club member. We enjoyed attending the shows and the meetings with both Sharon and Keith. Sharon was the Club Secretary and I always enjoyed getting her minutes for the newsletters. She would call me to make sure she got everything right for the newsletter. I always enjoyed chatting with her and hearing her stories. She will truly be missed by myself and my wife, Phyllis and our son, Tim. Rest in peace Sharon! We miss you already!
