marvelous sense of humor and engaging tales of lessons

But know this. Sharon McGee is not driven by success
or money or even the accolades. It is an old time missionary
spirit that fuels her. One learned at the knee. For
as Sharon puts it, "I was blessed to be raised
by huge hearts."
Sharon learned the importance of caring for others
at a very young age from her grandfather, Dr. William
Rasmussen. She watched him be the first to come to the
aid of those less fortunate in the United States and
China. He is remembered very proudly by those who were
touched by his gift, in San Luis Obispo, California.
Sharon's parents are living examples of helping others,
whenever a need arises. Their doors are always open.
Thus. Sharon and her two sisters, Karon and Connie,
and one brother, Jim, not only witnessed of their parents
while growing up, they started at a very early ago volunteering
for the American Red Cross, local health clinics in
Amarillo, Texas, and for the Girl and Boy Scouts of
America.
Life,
then as it is now, was all about pitching in, caring
for others and doing what you could do to help.
It takes a team.
This is what you will discover about Sharon and for
yourself - the magic of a huge heart.
