She'll be remembered as a boisterous and loving mom, granny, aunt, and friend who was always quick to laugh. The door to the house in Augusta was always open and friends were considered family. She loved having people stop by for wine time and if you sat beside her at the dinner table, she'd be sure to pick off your plate. Her life was full of wonderful memories cooking in the mountains for the Forest Service and the YCC, having a full house during the Augusta rodeo, years pacing at the cabin in the Bob Marshall, telling stories to her grandchildren, two-stepping with Kenny, baking bread, cleaning the church with her friends, talking on the phone with all her family, and taking trips to Great Falls with Kenny. Sharon loved to ride her horses and was a longtime rodeo fan. One of her last fun memories was going to Bozeman to meet her first great grandchild and watching her Bobcats win. She was a devout Catholic who got such strength from her faith. And the town of Augusta and her family will miss her cinnamon rolls.
Granny is survived by her dear husband, her 2 beloved sons and their wives her grandchildren and great-grandchild, her brother, and lots of nieces and nephews that she loved very much.
She was preceded in death by her parents Sam and Mary Arrotta, her brothers Larry Arrotta, Jim Arrotta, Bob Arrotta, and sisters Mary Wright, Red Fitzgerald, Doris Richter, and Thelma Welch.
