11/16/53 to 6/24/16 SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. - Sharon was a beautiful woman with an even more beautiful soul. She loved to laugh, dance and play golf as a member of the San Juan Hills Country Club. She was born in Wilmington and she later graduated from Thomas McKean High School, where she took part in the Blue Rock Drum and Bugle Corp. Sharon's life took her to many exciting places, including San Clemente, Calif., where she spent the rest of her life with the love of her life near the beach. Sharon was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, and while she continued to smile, her condition was more than she could handle. On Friday, June 24, 2016, Sharon's pain ended and she returned to Heaven as all Angels do. She passed away comfortably in her home as she was being cared for by her husband and daughter. She was surrounded by her closest family and friends. Sharon is survived by her husband, Bruce C. Tripp; daughter, Breana B. Paaverud; mother, Evelyn C. Burnstein; brothers, John K. Warren and Douglas F. Warren; sisters, Dianna L. Miller and Alison T. Burnstein; nephew, Micheal T. Paaverud; four grandchildren; and many more family and friends.
