She has a 6 year old daughter (who is hearing), Emma, who started signing at 9 months old! She also has a 4yr old son (also hearing) who started signing at 6 months old.

At the end of the 2018 school year Sharon decided to resign from full time teaching at Maranatha so she can “stay home” and homeschool her children as well as offer ASL classes during the day at EIE.
