About the Author

Sharon Linschoten grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah and graduated from Granite High School. Life has many detours and instead of attending college to earn her degree in teaching, Sharon became a care-giver to her aging grandparents- Harold and Bessie Powell. She volunteered as a teacher’s aid at Riley Elementary School. Bessie lost her fight with cancer. With a loan from her parents, David and Georgia Dalton, Sharon was able to buy and manage Cousins ( a unique fabric store). Two years later, she married her high school sweetheart, Randy. A detour while Randy served in the Air Force brought them to Cheyenne, Wyo. They eventually moved to Magna, Utah and Sharon became a stay at home mother and together they raised four boys and one girl.
As the demands on her time changed so did the detours. Sharon became a staff reporter for the Magna Times/ West Valley News. Her column, Just In Passing, was well received.
She served on the Magna Area Council for four years.
Served as a leader in The Boy Scouts of America for 25 years, and in various positions in her church.
For the past decade, Sharon has been teaching students of all ages, as a guest teacher and loving it.
