Sharon Kay Noh, known affectionately as Sharon to all who knew her, embarked on her final journey on Jan. 7, 2026, surrounded by the tranquility of Colorado’s natural beauty. Born on Sept. 8, 1967, in the golden state of California, Sharon’s zest for life and infectious enthusiasm touched the hearts of everyone she encountered throughout her 58 vibrant years.
Sharon’s life was a testament to the power of joy and the importance of family and friends. She was a beloved mother to Monica Novak and Jesse Pereira, who inherited their mother’s love for adventure and never giving up. Her spirit of kinship radiated through her relationships with her siblings — Theron, Mark, Lance and sister Charla.
The legacy of Sharon’s warmth and exuberance lives on through her cherished grandchildren, John, Daniel, and Miyah and Miyah’s mom Sonya Garcia, her doting nieces and nephews, Markida, Joseph, Michael, Paul, Jacob, Madeline and Sophia.
Sharon will be remembered by her many friends in Wyoming who she loved and thought of often.
A true adventurer at heart, Sharon’s interests were as vast as the open sky. Camping under the stars of Wyoming, fishing in serene lakes, riding bikes, and finding the perfect gifts for her family during her shopping excursions were among her favorite pastimes.
Sharon’s love for birds was more than a hobby; it was a reflection of her own free spirit and the beauty she saw in the simplicity of life. But perhaps what Sharon loved most was being with friends and family, creating unforgettable memories, and capturing those moments through her cherished photographs. Each picture told a story, a narrative of love, laughter, and the unbreakable bonds she forged with those around her.
Sharon’s life philosophy was embodied in the inspiring words of the great poet Maya Angelou, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Sharon made everyone feel loved, valued, and full of potential. Her unwavering positivity was not just a personal trait but a gift she freely gave to the world and especially to her family and friends.
Today, as we celebrate Sharon’s life, we are reminded of her indomitable spirit and the lessons she imparted through her actions and her unwavering commitment to her loved ones. She taught us to embrace the beauty of the present, to cherish the natural world, and to nurture the connections that bind us.
In the echoes of laughter at a family gathering, the gentle rustle of leaves on a quiet hike, or the tender moments shared between grandparent and grandchild and close friends, we will feel Sharon’s presence. Her memory will serve as a beacon of light, guiding us to live fully, love deeply and laugh often.
As we bid farewell to Sharon, let us carry forward the essence of her being — the courage to explore, the strength to love, and the wisdom to find joy in every moment. Her life was a beautiful journey that enriched the lives of all who were privileged to be a part of it. Sharon’s story does not end here; it continues in the hearts of those she loved especially her best friend and daughter Monica and in the countless lives she inspired.
