Thank you for visiting this memorial page honoring those who either graduated or would have graduated from Granger High School in 1965. We are honoring as many former classmates as we can find who have passed on. They were our friends, associates, teammates and, in some cases, our lifelong partners and companions. We also honor our veterans and those gallant young men who gave their all, in defense of the country they loved so much. To our MIA, James Schiele, we will never forget you and will continue to look forward to the day your remains are returned to the land of the free, the home of the brave.

Thanks to everyone who helped in the development of this memorial page, especially Diane Day Cooper, who would have graduated a Lancer were it not for her parents relocating their family in 1960. Without her, this would not have been possible. Thom Rich

Sharon graduated from Granger High School in Granger, Utah, in 1965. She spent the last 23 years of her life in Palmer, Alaska. Sharon's kindness, warmth, and unwavering love will be remembered by all those whose lives she touched.

Sharon was known for her infectious sense of humor, which brightened the lives of all who knew her. Her quick wit and playful spirit brought laughter to countless moments. She will be deeply missed by her sister Debbie Shepherd and a host of extended family and friends. May her laughter echo in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
