Sharon “Sherry” was born in Royal Oak, Michigan. She attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor for three and a half years working towards a degree in education. She met and married Sahap M. Emirbayer and had four children with him. After divorcing, at the age of fifty Sharon returned to college and received her Associate Degree in Nursing from Monroe Community College. She then went on to earn her Bachelor of Nursing Degree from the University of Rochester. She was a nurse at Strong Memorial Hospital and later worked as a private duty nurse.

Sharon’s life revolved around her family and career. She was fun-loving and enjoyed doting on her grandchildren. It was near the water that she was happiest, and in her retirement she moved to Honeoye Lake. In her later years, she kept active with travel, dabbling in the stock market, playing bridge with her friends and countless games of scrabble with her family. She loved assisting in homeschooling her four youngest grandchildren, attending bible studies and Little Lakes Church.

A Celebration of Life Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, May 23, at 11:30 am at Little Lakes Church, 4819 County Road 37, Honeoye, NY. Memorial contributions may be made to the American Red Cross, 50 Prince Street, Rochester, NY 14607. Arrangements entrusted to the Kevin W. Dougherty Funeral Home Inc., Livonia-Honeoye.
