Sharon flourished as an interior decorator, expertly combining her love for holidays with her flair for creating welcoming spaces. Her talents extended to the kitchen, where she was both an excellent cook and baker. You could daily find Sharon reading her bible, curled up in her chair praying. Those who knew Sharon will remember her laughter, which embodied the Joy of the Lord, and her classy demeanor in everything she did, from dressing up in costumes to hosting gatherings that left everyone feeling cherished.

She attended Riley High School in South Bend, IN, and was a devout member of The Pentecostals of Benton Church in Benton, AR, where she was actively involved and deeply cherished by her church family.

Sharon is survived by her loving parents, Dale and Lucinda Aukerman of South Bend, IN; her children: Brock (Shanley) Spurlock of Hot Springs Village, AR, Lauren (Nathan) Miller of Traskwood, AR, and Brandon (Ashlyn) Spurlock of Bryant, AR; and her heartbeats that affectionately called her “NeNe”: Liam, Mason, Davi, and Jett. Sharon was eagerly anticipating the arrival of Dax and Baker this fall! She is also survived by her sisters, Marcia (Michael) Fewell and Kayleen (John) Carr; nieces, Taylor and Lexi Carr; and nephew, Cameron Fewell. Her extended family includes numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and wonderful friends who will all miss her dearly. 

Sharon was preceded in death by her grandparents: Cletus and Jacqueline Berger, and Max and Lydia Aukerman; and her very dear and special aunt, Pam Smith.
