Sharon Jeannette Stewart left this earth on July 9, 2019. Sharon was born November 26, 1940 in Boise, ID to Arthur Albert and Austa Alta Buman. She was the youngest child and only daughter having two older brothers Donald Buman and Gordon Buman who both preceded her in passing. Since she was 14 years younger than Donald and 11 years younger than Gordon she practically grew up an only child. At a young age she moved from Idaho with her parents and brother to western Washington in the Centralia/Tenino area and graduated from Centralia High School. In Centralia she met Guy Ronald Stewart (who she always called Ron) and they married in Centralia May 14, 1960. About a year later their daughter Jan Marie was born followed by Scott Anthony a couple of years later. After a few years the family moved to Yakima, WA where they raised their two kids. Sharon worked at various jobs and at one time stayed at home to take care of her father for a few years. Ron was forced into an early retirement; the children were grown and out on their own, so they decided to move back to Centralia where they met. Sharon worked the Rochester school for a few years and one summer while on break they heard about and decided to try volunteering for the forest service spending the summer at a fire watch tower near Mt. St. Helens. They had always enjoyed camping and the next summer tried campground hosting at Takhlakh lake near Mt. Adams and that started a long association with Washington State Parks and hosting campgrounds in Washington and sometimes in Oregon full time. Some of the campgrounds they volunteered at are Fort Flagler, Cape Disappointment, Cape Blanco, Moran State park on Orcas Island, Beverly Beach and Devils Lake in Oregon, Sportsmans State Park in Yakima and Sacajawea State Park in Pasco. Sharon continued to host even after her husband Ron passed away in 2003. She mainly volunteered at Sacajawea State Park from then on working in the Lewis and Clark interpretive center and organizing Heritage days at the park every year. She won many awards such as Volunteer of the year several times from Washington State Parks. She had been planning the 2019 Heritage days at Sacajawea Park right up until she passed away. She started working at Sacajawea State Park mainly to be near her Son, Daughter and Grandchildren and gained a much bigger family with all of the people associated with Sacajawea State Park and the events that she was a major part of. She leaves behind her loving daughter Jan Gatlin (Michael) of Kennewick, WA, son Scott Stewart of Yakima, WA, grandson Anthony Gatlin of Cedar Rapids, IA, grandson Drake Gatlin (Desti) of Kennewick, and numerous nieces and nephews who will miss her dearly. A service and her cremated remains will be laid to rest at Riverview Heights Cemetery at 1200 S. Olympia St. in Kennewick at 10 a.m. A celebration of her life is being planned by Mueller's Funeral home at 1401 S. Union St. in Kennewick at 11 a.m.
