Sharon’s Story
Sharon Ione Davis entered this world on December 13th, 1942 to her parents Donice Ione (Marney) and Francis E. Davis of Rossville, Ks. Sharon spent her childhood growing up on the Mulvane Ranch and Farms West of Rossville where her father had became Manager and a Business Partner. The old ranch house and most of the ranch buildings were destroyed by the flood of 1951 when the Kansas River overflowed its banks. A new ranch home was built after the flood waters receded and the Davis family remained to rebuild the ranch.

Sharon participated in Brownie and Girl Scouts as a young girl and was a member of the Rossville 4-H Club where she raised and entered her prize winning 4-H calves in the 4-H Fair.

Sharon was attending a sewing class in the Home Economic’s Department at Rossville High School on January 14th, 1958 when her mother drove by ‘honking the horn’. ‘Donice’ was on the way to the hospital to deliver Sharon’s younger sister ‘Candace Davis’. Despite their age difference, Candace and Sharon formed a loving relationship and shared many good times growing up and throughout their lives.

Sharon’s Classmates will remember Sharon as a cheerleader in high school and riding around in her ‘Classic 1959 Black Impala’. Many ‘Happy Days’ were spent with her friends and classmates having numerous slumber parties, campouts, horse-back and hay-rack rides, and just getting off the school bus in time to watch Dick Clark’s American Band Stand. It was always ‘fun’ to go to the Community Center on Saturday nights for a tri-city ‘sock hop’sponsored by KTOP Disk Jockey Charlie Christian.
