Sharon Trupp Perreault of Coos Bay passed away on the morning of July 23rd. Sharon was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma to Lucille and Johnny Perreault on April 4th, 1947. She and her mother moved to Coos Bay just a few months after her birth, where she lived for most of her life. Her mother married Sam Trupp and Sharon’s little brother Rick Trupp was born when she was six years old. Sharon loved being a big sister. She graduated from Marshfield High School in 1965. She married Clifford George in 1966 and they welcomed their first child Michael in May of 1968. In August of 1974 their daughter Tamara was born.
Sharon married Bill Lawrence in 1988 and they were married for 27 years. They shared the love of camping and spending time with family and their grandchildren.
Sharon loved her children Mike and Tammy and her grandchildren with all her heart. She loved country music and was quite an amazing dancer. She enjoyed singing and playing the piano. While listening to country music one would often find her dancing and singing while keeping the beat with her tambourine. Her hobbies included raising and training dogs, riding horses, spending time at the beach, hiking and playing and hanging out with her grandchildren, and of course shopping. Sharon worked as an office manager in medical and dental offices for many years. She was smart, witty, funny and clever. She had a lot of friends who she loved spending time with. Her smile and laugh could quickly light up any room and people were always drawn to her beauty and her red hair with a fiery spirit to match. Her mother passed in 2019 which devastated Sharon. Those of us that loved her will grieve, but we all have great comfort in knowing that Sharon and her mom are both out of pain; smiling, laughing, singing and dancing together while they wait for us to join them. Thomas Campbell said, “To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.” Sharon was loved by so many and will live in our hearts until our final days come and we meet again.
She is survived by her son, Michael and wife, Heather George of Coos Bay; daughter, Tamara George Stagg and husband, Clint Stagg of Vernal, Utah; grandchildren, Logan Graham of Vernal, Utah, Chad Graham of Eugene, Zachary Graham of Vernal, Utah, Carter Smith of Springville, Utah, Makiah George of Redmond, Mitchell George of Eugene and “brother”, Rick Trupp of Coos Bay.
