Sharin was the real McCoy and aggressively dedicated herself to whatever she pursued. She entered this world November 6, 1958, in Merced, CA. to the parents of Carol Nacy Coffrin age 15, and Bob Dale Lunceford age 18. The oldest child had two sisters Bobbie Lynn Lunceford and Christine Diane Lunceford. She has two half-siblings from her father - Gregory Scott Lunceford and Jennifer Marie Lunceford. Sharin loved horses, country music, southwestern art, and motorcycles. She was an empathic healer. Sharin was a lifelong learner and earned her High School Diploma by examination in 1983 in the State of Alaska. In 1989, Sharin graduated from Heida Brenikee School of Massage in Seattle, WA. Sharin was an entrepreneur and had a vision and dream. She attended Green River Community College in Auburn, WA, and took Masterclasses in Women's leadership. This knowledge transformed her massage skills into a marketable business opportunity. Sharin opened Ten Essentials Spa in Renton, WA in 1990 and was the owner and operator until 1996.

She died of a rare cancer of the appendix and she donated her body to science as her final display of generosity. Her hope was that some progress is made to cure rare cancers.
