As a child, Sharon enjoyed Portland wrestling and as an adult, her enjoyment came from comedies, attending concerts, taking naps, the Portland Trail Blazers, shopping, manicures, rap and hip-hop music, and sharing inside jokes with friends and family.  Sharon loved spending time with her son, Eli.  Whether they were just hanging out together or attending Eli’s lacrosse games, those were very special times for her.

She is survived by her sister, Carly Stahl; stepsisters, Suzanne Stahl, Niki Stahl, and Brenda Smith; stepbrothers, Mike and Russ Stahl; half-brother, Rob Evans; and son, Eli; as well as her grandmother, aunts, uncles, and many cousins.
