Obituary of Sharon Volpato

Sharon Gail Best Volpato passed away peacefully in her Carmichael home on September 15, 2013 after a brief, but valiant battle with cancer. Sharon was the daughter of Elvin and Thelma Best, and was raised in Chico, California. She attended Chico High School, Chico State College, and received her teaching credential in 1958. She enjoyed teaching at Davis Jr. High, Ukiah High School, and Redwood Valley School. She married Larry D. Coonrod in 1959. After 38 years of marriage Larry passed away, and Sharon began a new chapter to her life. Sharon volunteered at Kaiser in numerous capacities and especially enjoyed her role with the Jr. Volunteers. On February 11, 2000, Sharon married her high school and college mate Angelo R. Volpato, Jr. After 45 years apart they became reacquainted and fell in love. They enjoyed their retirement years traveling, dining out, playing dominos, and she was always looking forward to the next adventure. Sharon will be missed by her husband Angelo, 4 step-children, 5 grandchildren and many friends. Sharon brought sunshine and love to all who had the privilege of knowing her.
