Discover their life together, including the hardships, fond memories, and life today as Kay resides at Avamere at Sandy's memory care community in Sandy, Oregon.
Allen & Sharon
After Allen's wife passed of cancer, he never thought he'd be able to find someone that he could share his faith, family, and life with. A little less than a year later, mutual friends of his introduced him to Sharon and they hit it off.
He wined and dined her, taking her to nice restaurants to try to impress her, but in the end, what earned him his first kiss was his stir fry making skills. He was known as the stir fry king and when he was in the kitchen one day cooking dinner for the two of them, they shared their first kiss! They were married a short while later in the same house of the friend that introduced them.
The happy couple had a beautiful blended family, Sharon with three boys and Allen with a boy and a girl. All of them are still connected as a family to this day. Allen and Sharon have been married for 34 wonderful years. When asked what the secret to their successful married was, they answered, "Find someone who shares the same faith and values as you, and make sure you make an adventure out of this life with them."
Today Allen and Sharon live happily at Avamere at Park Place, an assisted living community in Portland, Oregon.
