Sharon was born on June 25, 1949, in Oakville, the daughter of the late Domenic and Mary (Amabile) Christopher. She graduated from Watertown High School class of 1967. She began her working career at Grandway in Waterbury where she met her husband of 55 years, Tony. She went on to work at Winchester Electronics and later worked at Waterbury Orthopaedic Associates and TLC Learning Center & Day Care in Oakville. Sharon loved to bake, especially her Christmas cookies, scones and "bunnies" everyone waited for at Easter. Her favorite pastime was being Nonnie to her two grandsons. Our family thanks you Mom, for every prayer you uttered for us, for the many sacrifices you made for us, for thousands of hugs you shared with us and the unending love you instilled in all of us.
