She later joined the United Christian Ministries, under the leadership of her uncle, Pastor Charles Kirkpatrick, then years later she united with the New Canaan Baptist Church, under the leadership of Pastor Edward Jones, where she was a member until God called her home. She also loved and connected with the Outreach Ministries, under the leadership of Pastor Claudine Crumpler. Sharon was educated in the Gadsden city school system.

Sharon was a member of the Sensational Joyfulaires for many years and traveled to many places. She later started her own family group with her husband and children, The Anointed Watts Family.
