Sharon Collins Romero

Sharon Collins Romero was born to Ralph and Olive Collins on May 17, 1946 in Faith, South Dakota. She passed away peacefully on December 6, 2019 surrounded by her loving family.
Sharon was proceeded in death by her parents, Ralph and Olive Collins, brothers, Alfred and Richard Collins; husband, Joe N. Romero, in-laws Samuel and Agapita Romero, and numerous other family members.  
Sharon fought a tough fight against brain cancer for the past two and a half years and during the trials and tribulations of this battle she never lost her feisty nature. She was known to be tough and spirited and yet always made it a point to help people. She never ran from a challenge and was not afraid of hard work whether it be physical labor on a construction site or stepping in to help a family member in need. She firmly believed that if you had a job, you better get it done, even if it meant driving through the night to get her to a family reunion this past September in South Dakota. She and her husband Joe were a great support to extended family members often caring for nephews, nieces, grandchildren or anyone who needed support. She loved them all dearly to the very end.  She dearly loved her memories and family in South Dakota and looked forward to her yearly trek back to catch up with extended family and friends. She cherished the time she spent with them.  She loved cooking her famous Navajo Tacos and Jalapeno stew for her family and dancing to Dwight Yoakam and teaching her grand kids to wrestle.
