To the family,



Sharon was a friend to me.

I will remember her fondly

she and I had a 14 year working relationship. She was always caring and thoughtful others. I know she's in a better place. God bless your family.

To The Family of Ms. Sharon Nortell,

I worked with Sharon at GE for 2 years, and what I will always remember about her was her "Quote For the Day". Sharon would write a quote every day and leave it for everyone to see. She would come up with the greatest little anecdotes that really made you think about life and the world around you. I bet she was a great teacher and I would have been proud to have had her as my son's teacher. I remember at the end of my shift, I used to drive her car around to the front of the building so that she would not have to walk to her car in the dark. One day I noticed her seat belt had been dis-engaged and as I brought her keys back to her, I asked her if she wore her seat belt when driving. She started to say yes, but I think the look on my face warned her to tell me the truth. She slumped in her seat as if she had been caught(well she had)and said "No". As I scolded her, I shook my finger at her and told her to "Buckle up for Safety". She started to cry and I wanted to hug her but i had to leave to pick up my son. Sharon always brought a smile to my face and a laugh to my day. I will miss her terribly. I will always remember a great friend

Sincerely,

Kirsten Kielley
