Sharon was born April 25, 1948 to parents Joseph Jerry Rychtera and Margaret Alice Sealy. She has been a resident of Orland, California for over 60 years. Sharon attended Highland School of Nursing in San Francisco, she served as an ER nurse before coming back to Orland to become a public health nurse with the County of Glenn. She held this position for many years. Sharon was also active in the Orland Volunteer Fire Department and the United Federated Church of Orland. Sharon had a 37 year marriage with her soulmate Thomas Carlyle Camper who preceded her in death at the age of 69.

Sharon loved adventure and led a very active lifestyle. She enjoyed fishing, hunting, traveling, reading, and camping. Recently she was able to take several cruises with her family, including a magical trip to Alaska which was one of her “bucket list” items. We are all so blessed to have had Sharon in our lives and she will not be forgotten.
