Sharron Marie Halbrook, 65, of Farmington, IA passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family on Saturday, April 9, 2022, at the Van Buren County Hospital after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Sharron Marie Halbrook was born on July 31, 1956, in Keosauqua, IA to Verlin and Erma Smith Palmer. She attended school at Harmony Schools where she graduated with the Class of 1975. On December 18, 1976, she was united in marriage to Glenn Halbrook. Together they became the loving parents of three children: Timothy, Kelli, and Matthew. Sharron loved being a mother and took care of everything that they needed. She also was co-owner and worked at Halbrook's Sporting Goods for many years as well as several years as the owner of the car wash and laundromat. Sharron's greatest joy was her family, especially her grandchildren. She was a wonderful cook and loved preparing meals for family and friends. When she had free time, she enjoyed playing cards, working in her yard, and tending to her flowers.
