Today's Featured Biography

 

 
SHARON NELSON MELOY


Ken Meloy and Sharon Nelson met at Washington High School, both graduating in the class of January 1959. We married in April of 1961 and proceeded to have 4 children; 3 girls and 1 boy. Our children all married have now blessed us with 12 grandchildren ranging in ages 4-20.
Ken was in automotive and tire sales most of his adult life, retiring in 2006. He loves retirement and his days now consist of golfing as frequently as possible, Y workouts, piano lessons, Bible class, Sheepshead, taking care of grandchildren and working part time at our son-in-laws orthodontic office.
Sharon, after being home for many years with the children, worked as an administrative assistant retiring from Humana Insurance Company in 2007. She continues to serve on the Humana Grievance Committee as a plan member. She enjoys Y workouts, classes, taking care of the grandchildren, lunching and shopping with friends, sewing and volunteer work.
We have been fortunate to travel extensively before and since retirement, in fact, we were in Ireland with Tom and Karen (Kosteretz-class of June 1959) Wright on 9/11....which proved to be a challenge in returning to the states.
God has blessed us in so many ways and for this we give thanks. God's blessings to all of you and may your "golden years" be filled with good health and happiness.
