She married Dr. Larry Charles Boyd in Augusta, GA. Sharon and Larry traveled the world. Theirs was a love story to inspire their children and beyond. Their oldest child will be 50 this year. Sharon enjoyed singing songs and reading stories to inspire her children and grandchildren, to whom she was known as “GranGran.” Sharon was a true pillar of love who would help you stand in even the darkest storm.
