She was born August 26, 1941 in St. Peter, Minnesota to Edgar and Elizabeth (Emge) Carpenter. As a child, she attended several school districts and graduated from Braham High School in 1960. Following high school she worked for Schmitt Music in Minneapolis. She met the love of her life at Happy’s Dance Hall in Hinckley and on September 22, 1962 she married Joseph Fix in Hinckley.

Together they began their life two miles west of Hinckley, later moved to Rush City where they rented a farm for three years. In 1968 they purchased 80 acres east of Pine City where together they farmed and raised their six children. Sharon and Joe farmed until their retirement in 1999. Following her retirement she began working at Nelsons Country Market in Pine City where she worked in the deli for ten years. As Joe’s health failed, she retired from there to take care of the love of her life. Sharon remained on the farm after Joe’s death and resided there until January 2026.
