On September 11, 1976, she married Arlin Brower. To this union was born a daughter, Jaime Leigh, and a son, Wade Thomas. Together, they lived in Newell, where Sharon owned and operated an art studio. She was well known for her art work on area barns, which she called her "memory pictures." She became intrigued with soy ink as a painting medium. Her interest led her to experiment and developing a formula enabling her to use die soy ink in her painting. She later patented the formula. Ms. Browers lifelong love of horses was recently realized when she and Arlin purchased a ranch in Saratoga, Wyoming, and began breeding purebred Arabian show horses. Sharen had a zest for life that was evident in her sense of humor and her determination to succeed. She treasured her family and shared her passion for die mountains, gardening, her horses, and her dog Brandi. She was a member of Nain Lutheran Church and enjoyed teaching senior high Sunday school. Ms. Brower passed away near Omaha, Neb., on Tuesday, April 17, 2001, at the age of 52, while traveling to Saratoga, Wyo. She was preceded in death by her mother-in-law, Marge Brower.
