Sharon L. Vera

Sharon L. Vera passed peacefully in her sleep on January 18, 2008 in Folsom, CA. Sharon lived for many years with cancer and in July 2008, moved to Folsom to be near her son Troy Vera and daughter-in-law Krista. Sharon was born on March 17, 1945 in Enterprise, OR. She moved to Morgan Hill in 1964 and then to Gilroy in 1969. Known for her friendly smile and giving spirit, she was a source of joy and companionship to everyone from newborns to 100+ year olds. Her career in senior care began in 1978 – she worked at various convalescent homes and eventually went into business for herself as a home health care provider. Friends and family can all agree that she would do anything for anyone before herself and lived a life of faith in God and love for everyone. She will be laid to rest in La Grande, OR with her grandmother. As we celebrate her life, we also carry on her love, generosity and joyful spirit. Memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 26 from 1:00 P.M. to 3:00 P.M. at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 1735 Hecker Pass Highway, Gilroy.
