Sharon was born on June 3, 1953 in Fredonia, Kansas to Warren and Mildred (Hendry) Rowe. She married her high school sweetheart, Ed Nightengale on August 1, 1970 in Fredonia. She was a devoted wife to Ed and loving mother to their two daughters, Amy and Stacy. Sharon also worked alongside Ed in commercial printing for Kansas Bank Note Company in Fredonia. After retiring, they moved to Branson where they were amazing neighbors and active in their neighborhood and First Baptist Church in Branson. They also loved traveling and spending time with family, especially their grandchildren. Sharon missed meeting people and working so she went back to work at Silver Dollar City where she worked for 9 years. After Ed passed she continued traveling and seeing the grandkids. She took cruises, loved Branson shows, and doing anything outside. Gardening and canning were favorite pastimes for her.
