  1. An elegant, loving friend who was so generous with her time and love of the arts and garden will sorely be missed.

  2. Sharon made a huge difference in our community, and was a model of grace and generosity. So honored to have met her.

  3. Sharon will never be forgotten. So beautiful and elegant. A joy and an honor to be her friend. I’m so sorry that I just learned about this today. My deepest condolences to the family. My heart is with you all.

  4. candleI wish I could have just one more conversation! She was always so witty and deep. I’m grateful for the time I had with her

  5. Sharon was lovely and a great sister in law when married to my brother Pat (Gardner). Cowles. Her nièces and nephews all adored her. We all missed her. May she rest in peace.

  6. I’m John Patrick Harrison. Sharon was my aunt. I loved her deeply. She was such a great person and so nice to all of us kids. I’ll never forget her

  7. Sharon lived in Old Field,Head of the Harbor, and Nissequogue. Her homes were all very impressive. She was an elegant person with grace and good taste. She was a good person and will be missed. Bless her soul. I did not know she passed until today. 2/6/24.
    She set an impressive table and she was a gourmet cook. You’d see her in jeans or dressed flamboyantly in Bohemian clothing. She had flair. She twinkled when she smiled. I wish I’d seen her before she passed.

  8. I too just learned that Sharon passed in November. We had enjoyable conversations as Wells College alumnae. I related to her especially when she remarked she felt like a hibernating hermitress during ’21. I’m sorry for the loss of her.
