To Dale and family. My deepest condolences. I was shocked and saddened when I heard the news about Sharon. I will always treasure those precious memories of the old days. My message to you is the same as you said to me a while back: "stay strong".

This is incredibly sad news. Sharon was like a sister to me, one of the nicest, sweetest, charming, intelligent, stylish, funny, and one of the greatest human beings I have ever known. Never a harsh word or a stern look. A pleasure to be in her presence. Took many trips together with Sandy and my brother Ron, Hawaii at least three times, more Las Vegas trips that I can remember, always at the Bellagio. She could rock a bikini and a designer dress in the same day. She came to my 50th in San Diego in 2006, we spoke on the phone often, always felt better after talking with her (amateur therapist), she will be missed by the world. She did make it a better place.

Sharon was one of the sweetest person I had the privilege to be friends with. She always had a smile on her face and always willing to help out when we worked together. Her kind and loving nature will be highly missed by everyone who knew Sharon. Rest In Peace Sharon, and thank you for being my friend

Sharon and I were friends as well as coworkers for what seems like Forever. She will always be remembered for being the professional and wonderful person she was. There is an irony in that she wasn't aware of how much she was admired and appreciated. Sharon is now running heaven, extraordinarily as usual. Goodbye, my dear Friend.

I am so very saddened to learn of Sharon’s passing. I too worked with Sharon for many years and also considered her a friend as well as co-worker. Sharon always went out of her way to help anyone and was as beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. Rest In Peace, Sharon, you will be missed by all who had the gift of knowing you.

I am so sorry to read of Sharon's passing. I had the good fortune to work with Sharon for over 35 years. She was a consummate professional who provided outstanding guidance to any employee who sought her help. To this day in 2021, people still mention her name and wish that she was at BAE to provide a personalized service that no longer exists. She was a kind and beautiful lady. My deepest sympathies.

I worked with Sharon as well and she was such a kind person, always willing to listen and see what she could do to help. She often talked about her family and her dogs. I'm so sorry for your loss.

So sorry to hear of Sharon's passing. I worked with her for many years and and as an HR professional, I could always count on Sharon to provide the support and advice needed. She was gracious and generous in her work as Im sure she was in her private life. She has been missed and I know there is a special place in heaven for people like Sharon.

Sharon was a friend to every person who worked at Sanders/BAE. She was always there to help, and always did it with a smile. I remember speaking with her just before she retired. Such a wonderful person. So sorry for your family's loss.

Sincere sympathy and deepest condolences, old friend Dale and your family. So sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace.

I am certain Sharon has been adorned in wings fit for Angels and placed in a peaceful and tranquil position close by The Lord's side...and deservedly so. She lived a full life, living honest and sincere and those who had the privilege of knowing her were truly blessed in her presence. She radiated peace and happiness. She worked tirelessly for her family and was just as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. I am honored to be her son. A special recognition should be noted for her husband, Dale Lonnroth Sr. who labored relentlessly to make Sharon's final, declining years as comfortable as possible. He went above and beyond human capability out of unconditional love. He is my hero. I'd like to express my deepest sympathies to her immediate family including her husband, her sister, her grandchildren, and her daughter (in-law...but only in technicality). Also to her friends, Mona (her bestie), and to those from her past such as co-workers and acquaintances. She loved us all equally. God Bless.
