Sharon was born August 30, 1943 in Louisville, Kentucky to Durward D. and Adlyn Emily (Hoffmann) House. Sharon was a gifted Teacher in Louisville Public Schools for a number of years after graduating from University of Louisville. Upon obtaining her Doctorate from the University of Cincinnati in Ohio and San Miguel de Allenda in Mexico, she accepted a position as Professor in the Art Department at Central Michigan University. Upon publishing a book, several articles, and displaying her work at several art shows and galleries, she obtained tenure. She thoroughly enjoyed her students, colleagues, and friends while continuing her painting, sketching, printings, photography, sculpture, and various other art forms. She was always a world traveler and her work may be found in many private collections around the world. Throughout her education, Sharon sought to see the beauty in the lands and people of the world through world travel and photography; many of which may be found in various publications.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff at Prestige Centre for the wonderful care, love, and support extended to Sharon and her family. The staff at Prestige went beyond expectations to keep her active and doing the things she enjoyed. We also wish to thank her kind and loving friends Dr. Thomas Benjamin and Ms. Marge Havens for watching over her, visiting, and especially the many times Dr. Benjamin took Sharon out and brightened her life immensely.
Sharon is survived by her sister, Dr. Alison D. House Brennan; and nephews Daniel David House Brennan and Joshua R. Brennan.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Durward and Adlyn House.
