Sharon Shepardson Avny died on November 3.
Sharon always hosted a summer barbecue for those of us in this area of Southern California, a wonderful opportunity to keep up with a group of classmates who, in many cases, I knew better from our California lives than I ever did in Chicago. She was gracious and charming and always looked fabulous. We all worried last summer when she emailed that she had health problems and wasn't able to have the gathering this year.
Sharon lived in Southern California even longer than we've been here, and that's a long, long time. She had a very successful career in HR at the Los Angeles Time for many years before marrying Warren Avny and moving to Orange County. I have a brunfelsia bush in my yard that came from a cutting she gave me when she still lived in Glendale. Its common name is Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow because it changes color as it matures. That feels particularly appropriate right now.
The last time I saw her was at Christmas 2019. She was still the prettiest girl in our class, as well as one of the sweetest and most kind. May we all leave behind such lovely memories.
