Sharon was born August 20, 1953, in Omaha, Nebraska, to Harry and Anna (Dohmen) Chandler.  The family moved to Humphrey, Nebraska, where Sharon graduated from St. Francis Catholic High School.  She worked at Klub 81 while her parents owned it and often spoke of the many fun times she had there.  After graduation, Sharon attended Columbus Beauty School and then went to work at Countryside Nursing Home in Madison.  Sharon dearly loved animals and worked at the Humphrey Vet Clinic prior to starting her antique business.  Sharon was involved with Christian Mothers.

Sharon was united in marriage to Randy Herchenbach on July 4, 1973, at St. Francis Catholic Church.  Together the couple raised three children – Bryan, Lori and Jennifer, and lived on the family farm.

Sharon adored her grandchildren and great grandchildren who always brought a smile to her face.  She enjoyed spending time with her girlfriends who were like family to her and getting together with her extension club.
