Sharon (Severance) Strong

Sharon Strong, 69, a Northfield resident, answered God's call on Monday, October 16, 2017. Born February 8, 1948, she was the daughter of Henry F. Severance and Barbara (Rothwell) Severance. Sharon was the oldest of five children.

Growing up in Concord, she participated in Girl Scouts and the Advent Christian Youth Group. She graduated from Concord High School in 1966.
