Sharon was born in Southern California to James and Dorthy Flora where she was raised on horseback, participating in all events, including fox hunts and becoming Miss Cow Palace Queen.
The family moved to Lake County, California in her high school days and continued her love of horses and was involved in 4-H, Jr and Sr Horsman’s, AQHA, NRCHA, organizations, and excelling in showing in all disciplines, but loved a good working cow horse, and cutting NCHA was her passion.
Sharon owned, bred and rode many good horses and won many trophies, buckles, and awards, being recognized as a good horsewoman by those with whom she rode and showed or trained and into her late 70s.
She is survived by her love and husband, Thomas Jerald Kirkpatrick of 55 years, her daughters Laurie Fullerton, Suzanne Fullerton, Carolyn Greene, Wendy Kirkpatrick (Brad), and Blair Kirkpatrick.
Grandchildren Cord Hess, Chelsea Barker (Jeromy), TJ Greene (Katie), Wesley Green, Emma Johnson (Justin), and several great-grandchildren.
We loved her through the end at home with family surrounding her in this realm and in her family’s hearts and memories forever.
“Raised on Horseback, Cowgirl to the end”
