Obituary for Sharon E. Simpson
Sharon E. (Stover) Simpson, 62, of Burkittsville, MD, passed away peacefully with her dogs Molly and

marriage she held jobs at St. Mary's College in Dodge City, KS and Johnson Controls, Muskegon, MI.

Sharon is fondly remembered for her love of dogs, especially dalmatians and tending her lawn and
flowers. She loved to sing and play handbells any where she lived. She also enjoyed reading Nora
Roberts and watching Hallmark movies. A trip to Mr. G's in Gettysburg for black raspberry ice cream
was a pleasure. She was always working on family geneology.

Spence and Keith Bowling (Karen), James Hartman and George Hartman. Aunt Alice and Uncle

family members, co-workers, neighbors and friends who assisted her these last two years. Brite Star
