Served as Treasurer from 1998 - 2024.
Sharon was a member of ACF since 1994 and held the role of Treasurer almost as long. She was the anchor of this organization and we could not function without her!
After battling cancer for 5+ years, Sharon passed away in April 2024. In her honor, we've re-named our Art Education/supply funds to be the "Sharon Askelson Memorial Art Fund". Donations are always welcome and we know Sharon would be proud to learn that we are trying to help pass along a crafty/artsy lifestyle to the next generation.
Sharon made holiday wreaths and decorative Christmas sleighs using artificial flowers and other decor. Sharon was also an active volunteer at the Flathead County Fairgrounds and was involved with the Dahlia Society and other organizations around the Flathead Valley.
