Sharron and Norita Winterton were both raised in the Heber Valley.  Sharron grew up on the family farm in Charleston which was homesteaded by his grandfather, William Winterton. William entered the Heber Valley in 1863 and played a big part in settling Charleston.  Norita was raised in Heber City, and is a descendant of Henry Clegg, early Heber resident and pioneer.  They attended Wasatch High School and were high school sweethearts. Two weeks following graduation they married and after short, miserable stays in Provo and then Salt Lake,  the country kids left the big city and moved to Charleston to live and work on the family dairy farm. Despite contending with cold winters, hard work, and farm animals, they never left.  Dad also drove a school bus and worked at the mine in Park City. Mom spent her time raising the kids and helping out dad with anything he needed. They have four children: Carolyn (Scott McFee), Paul (Vicki), Kent (Karen) and Wayne (Ramie). All five families still live side by side in Charleston. They have 14 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren.

While trying to make a living and raise a family they found the time to be active in the community.  Sharron served on the Charleston Town Board, Utah State Dairy Commission, Federal Land Bank and Wasatch Soil Conservation District Board. He was also Farm Bureau Vice President, Vice Chair Wasatch Mental Health Board, Hospital Board member and served on the Heber Valley Special Service District Board when the Sewer system was built. He also served as counselor in the Midway Stake Presidency. From 1995-1998 he served as Wasatch County Commissioner. Norita was his biggest fan and constant support. She was very involved in church service and was one of the early leaders of Young Women’s girls camps. She also volunteered as a Pink Lady at the Hospital, and as a public school teachers aid. Together they spent 18 months in New York serving at LDS church historical sites in Palmyra while living on the Smith farm, 18 months in South Africa managing the employment resource center and are currently Camp Hosts at the Heber Valley Girls Camp on the east side of the valley.

Their lives of honesty, service, and integrity are exemplary of the ideals that Heber Valley citizens aspire to.
