SHARON MARIE³ COLLIER, b. June 02, 1940, Rockford, IL; m. RAY VIDAL, Tucson, AZ.

Notes for SHARON MARIE COLLIER:
When she was younger, she played the accordian. One of my favorite memories of her, was when our parents asked her to play at a Chruch Social, and she agreed.
Much to everyone's discomfort, she played, with gusto, the "Beer Barrel Polka".
The last anyone had seen her, she was living in Tucson, Arizona, then she moved, and didn't leave any forwarding address, so no one has heard from her in quite some time.
