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.

flowers. She loved to sing and play handbells any where she lived. She also enjoyed reading Nora
