Sharon had become very sick and left us to be with the Lord and her family in heaven early the morning of January 18, 2016.
She was born in Everett, Wash. to Cyrus B. Hatch Jr. and Emily Ann Beatty (both deceased), she was the oldest of six children. Sharon is preceded in death by her sister, Holly (Hatch) Jones, brother, Wayne Hatch and grandson, Jaylen Ray Fryberg.
Sharon is survived by her siblings, Cyrus Hatch III, Marilyn Flores and Myrna Pacheco; and her four children: Wendy Fryberg, Corey Morken, Jesse Chavez and Samantha Chavez.
Sharon was born and raised in Everett and graduated from Everett High School. She always focused her life around what was most important to her, family and education. Sharon was so proud to have a long career working for the BIA and to later retire as the Executive Administrative Assistant from Quil Ceda Village in Tulalip. Sharon received her Bachelor’s Degree from Evergreen State College and was very proud of this accomplishment. Family was Sharon’s pride and joy and her first priority, as she was the backbone for everyone. She always made time for others although she arrived in her own time to each occasion and was known as the favorite auntie. Sharon had many favorite things but she was most known for taking pictures. She always wanted each beautiful moment to be captured and saved as a memory, which she did with all her scrapbooking. She also had a newfound interest and passion for learning to quilt.
Sharon was proud of being a mom and always made sure her children knew that. She loved her grandchildren and great grandchildren and all her special nieces and nephews who came to visit her often. Sharon had a beautiful soul and she had a place for everyone in her heart. She loved everyone without judgement and only showed kindness. She will be missed greatly and will always be remembered for what she did for others.
