Sharon Kinzenbaw was born February 14, 1940, in Williamsburg, the daughter of Fritz and Gretchen (Mumby) Kinzenbaw. She graduated from Ladora High School and attended Kirkwood Community College. Sharon was united in marriage to Larry Davis on June 1, 1957, in Ladora. The couple made their home on the farm where Larry was born near Ladora. Sharon was a farmer, wife and mother, and later became Gramma Flash and mother/grandma figure to many more.  Sharon and Larry owned the Double D in Williamsburg from 1969-1975. With the help of Dave and Karron DeBrower, she managed it until it became the Sundown. Other jobs she enjoyed included the Marengo Sale Barn, ACT and working with her brother Fritz E at Red Top Trucking. Larry and Sharon were a true team, life partners and inseparable. She lived for celebration gatherings, Christmas and sent birthday cards to almost everyone she knew.

Because of her endless generosity, love, smile, laughter, and touch, she will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
