Wow, that is sad to hear.  I have known Sharon for years telephonically.  If you ever had a problem with DXCC or VUCC Sharon would take care of it on the spot.  I have emailed her and had her respond with an email or phone call on weekends.  This is a terrible loss for the League and the rest of us.  I agree with Jay.  Saying she will be missed is a huge understatement.

Everyone,

Earlier today, I learned from Earl N5ZM and later confirmed from the ARRL DXCC Desk that Sharon Taratula has passed away!  This was very unexpected.  For those that didn't know Sharon, while she wasn't a ham radio operator, she played a super big part in getting your DXCC applications done!  You may have seen me more than once sing her praises!  She worked tirelessly on weekends and holidays to get your applications done. 

To say she will be missed is a huge understatement!
