Sharlene, being an avid sports fan, loved baseball, basketball and especially college football-GoSooners! She, herself, was an excellent basketball player in her high school days at Altus High! On Friday nights in Plano, during the high school football season, you could find Sharlene with her "box buddies" cheering the Plano Senior High School to victory!-Go Wildcats! She also enjoyed travel, the theatre and adventure! She enjoyed getting together with girlfriends on Sunday evenings to go to the Summer Musicals at Fair Park. She became a"first-time snow skier" at the age of 45 when the "singles" group from First Baptist Church of Plano went to Winter Park, Colorado for a ski weekend and she was "hooked"! For a number of years to follow, one would find her looking for the best ski package deals and Baniff,Canada became a favorite! She always said if you needed to find her, she would be there, enjoying the beauty of the majestic mountains! Spending time with her grandchildren was her favorite activity of all, which they name "Camp Grammy."
Sharlene enjoyed researching and learning more about her Native American heritage with the Chickasaw Nation.
She will be GREATLY missed by her family and friends who loved her DEARLY!
A Celebration of Life service will be held at First Baptist Plano on Tuesday, March 17th @2pm. Internment will be in the family plot at a later date.
