Sharon J Goff passed away from natural causes at the age of 78 on the afternoon of December 23rd. She was at home with her family under hospice care. She was the last of her generation and was predeceased by her husband , ex-husband, parents, ten siblings, and her aunts and uncles. She is survived by a large blended family spanning 3 generations.

Sharon was born in a log cabin in the northern Minnesota woods in a place where "wolves at the door" was not a metaphor. She was very young when her family relocated to the Pacific Northwest where she grew to adulthood. She married her first husband, Glenn Melton, there.

She and Glenn had one daughter Lori. As a military family they moved around quite a bit and Sharon found herself in Berlin the day the wall went up.

Finding their way to California, she and Glenn divorced and she married Dean Goff, the father of David, Dannielle, Deborah, Matthew and Andrew. Together, she and Dean had two more sons, Christopher and Jonathan. We all became a large, blended family with a twenty-five year difference in age between the youngest and the oldest. Sharon served as matriarch of our rowdy brood
of strong-willed individuals with incredible patience and unconditional love.

Sharon did clerical work for a number of businesses and organizations up and down the pacific coast over the years. She retired from the Napa County Department of Health and Human Services over twenty years ago, but still enjoyed doing freelance transcription work, finishing her last project just a few weeks before her passing. She also enjoyed travel, quilting and decorating her home and yard.
