Sharlene was born in Portales, New Mexico to Vernie and Pauline "Peggy" Wagner on December 24, 1935. She attended school in Sudan, Texas. She married Lyndell "Lynn" Lynch on May 24, 1953 in Sudan, Texas. Sharlene and Lynn owned "Lynn's Grocery Store" in Sudan, Texas for many years prior to moving to Clovis, New Mexico. While their children were in High School, Sharlene and Lynn were active members and supporters of the Clovis Wildcat Band Boosters and Sharlene worked as a teacher's aide at Parkview Elementary. During the late 1980's through the 1990's they were the owners of a local frame shop, Frame & Art Gallery. Sharlene was an avid cross stitcher and crocheter and made blankets for the local cancer center, area nursing homes, and the Baptist Children's Home in Portales, New Mexico. Sharlene was an active member of First United Methodist Church and the Circle 5 Women's Group and a committed supporter of the Lighthouse Mission.
