The door to the house in Augusta was always open and friends were considered family. She loved having people stop by for wine time and if you sat beside her at the dinner table, shed be sure to pick off your plate. Her life was full of wonderful memories cooking in the mountains for the Forest Service and the YCC, having a full house during the Augusta rodeo, years pacing at the cabin in the Bob Marshall, telling stories to her grandchildren, two-stepping with Kenny, baking bread, cleaning the church with her friends, talking on the phone with all her family, and taking trips to Great Falls with Kenny. Sharon loved to ride her horses and was a long time rodeo fan. One of her last fun memories was going to Bozeman to meet her first great grandchild and watching her Bobcats win. She was a devout Catholic who got such strength from her faith. And the town of Augusta and her family will miss her cinnamon rolls. Granny is survived by her dear husband, Kenny White of Augusta; her beloved sons, Steve White and his wife Jodee of Dillon, and Jeff White and his wife Kristi of Bozeman; her grandchildren Sarah White of Seattle, WA, Josh White and his wife Jenelle of Dillon, Heather Armfield and her husband Kevin and great granddaughter Sadie Quinn, all of Belgrade, Kacee White of Bozeman; her brother, Don Arrotta of Spokane, WA and lots of nieces and nephews that she loved very much.
