She began her teaching career at Blackstone Junior High School. She lived most of her life in Nottoway County sharing her gifts with students and faculty.

Sharon shared her love of learning with all of her students and while she could be rather strict, most will tell you how much she truly prepared them for college and their future. She was a dedicated teacher, dual enrollment instructor, and mentor to many. Sharron loved the outdoors, flowers and animals.

She is survived by a special friend Lewis Williamson and they were able to travel and make many memories along the way. Also, she leaves behind siblings, Lannah Hughes, Patrick Hughes, Michael Hughes, step-daughter Nancy Blair Myers, caretaker Teresa Hill, and a host of friends and fellow educators that will miss her tremendously.
