I wa friends with the family.

2020 - Traverse City - Sharon L Boros was born Monday 22 Apr 1940 at home to James Eugene & Dorothy Louise (Laizure) Boros Sr. She was a proud graduate of Mesick High School and made every effort to attend their annual class reunions. She was an exceptional student (her classmates were more than willing to tell you about it at their reunions!) and after high school she attended nursing school at Henry Ford Hospital of Nursing and years later at MSU to work toward her master's degree. She was a good mix of her parents. Like her father she was hard working, frugal and had that little streak of mischievousness in her that you could see in her smile. Like her mother she was kind, charitable and had a seemingly never-ending ability to care for others in need. It is no surprise given these qualities that she chose nursing as her profession. During her nursing career she especially loved working with children at Arnell Engstrom Hospital. She reached the height of her nursing career as the Assistant Director of Nursing at the State Hospital in Traverse City and retired when the Hospital closed in 1989. After retiring from nursing, she was an instructor at Northwestern Michigan College, where she continued to impart to the next generation of nurses her passion for caring and serving. Although she was a staunch believer in hard work and saving for a rainy day, she knew how to have fun too! She loved to travel and had some great tales to tell you from her many trips. She was sometimes known to be found on the golf course on a sunny day and she was a pretty mean bowler. Although she would probably not admit it, she was also addicted to romance novels and was a clothes hound extraordinaire.

Sharon L (Boros) Andersen left this life the same way that she lived it, with a little spark, a lot of feistiness and on her own terms. She will mostly be remembered by her family for her many acts of charity (from paying college tuition to helping with moving expenses to buying groceries) and the seemingly unending care that she gave to family members in need over the years with no questions asked. She was a wonderful sister, a doting aunt and friend to all whose lives she touched. Survivors included 1 sister; 1 brother; 1niece and their children; niece and her children; her nephew; and her dear cousin along with other cousins. She was predeceased by her parents, James 20 Nov 2002 & Dorthey 19 Jul 2010 ; 1 sister- in-law Marilyn Boros; 2 aunts Julia Coleman and "Goldie" Burkhart.

An outdoor memorial was scheduled in the spring of 2020 in Block 28 Lot 2 at Boon Westside Cemetery in Boon. The family extended many thanks to the caregivers at Munson Hospice House for the care and love they extended to their patients and the families that come into their lives.

An online guest book was available at www.reynolds-jonkhoff.com. Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home and Cremation Services served the family.
