Employee Spotlight
Hi! My name is Sharon Perry. I was born in San Antonio, Texas, but I was
raised and live in Houston. I am also a “New Year baby.” After I graduated from
high school, I attended Prairie View A&M University for two years in the nursing
program. I got married a few years after, and my husband and I have one
daughter, Shardonia. She is married and has four kids. I am also blessed to still
have both of my parents. My mother is 83, and my father is 95 years old. My
brother and I care for both of them. I have been working in health care for a long
time. I worked for twenty years in a skilled nursing facility. I have been working
for six years at Colonial Oaks. I started in the Boat House neighborhood and later
transferred to Country Lane where I have been for the last few years. I love all
the residents and all the Colonial Oaks staff.
