Sharon Kay Brunson was born March 1, 1950 in Bakersfield, Calif., the third of five children born to Burlie Baynard Brunson and Mary Helen (Self) Brunson.
Sharon spent her early years, traveling between California and Oklahoma. She eventually settled in Oregon. During this time she met a young man named Walter Swetland. They were the perfect couple, and on May 1, 1977, Walter and Sharon were married in Las Vegas, Nevada.
After raising their four children, they moved to Oklahoma to be closer to her family. Sharon took a job at Purcell Municipal Hospital, and worked in admitting and medical records until her retirement.

Sharon was a woman of faith and loved her family, and will be remembered as a wonderful wife and mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and a true friend. She will be dearly missed!
She was preceded in death by her parents, Burlie and Mary Brunson and her brother, David Brunson.
