Early this summer, Sharon Wang of 4110 Dunbarton, Colorado Springs died of 
complications from lung cancer. Born (1950) in Chicago, she graduated from the 
University of Chicago Laboratory School and then spent 2 years attending classes and 
learning Chinese in Taiwan. Over the next 10 years, she achieved certification in and 
taught several innovative massage, body work, and other theraputic techniques, 
working at the Esalen and Radix Institutes, the Institute for Psychotherapy in Chicago, 
and completing a BA in Psychology from Northeastern Illinois University. Sharon 
continued to expand her expertise in body work and the mind/body connection, 
teaching Reiki, Feldenkrais, Tragger, and other bodywork techniques in workshops in 
Chicago and around the country as well as pursuing graduate studies in psychology. 
After a two-year trip around the world including studying in India, she completed an 
MA in Early Childhood Education at Sonoma State University in California and moved 
to Colorado Springs. She worked in early childhood education until she began caring 
for her father full time until his death. For seven years, Sharon provided the highest 
quality of life possible for him and facilitated his peaceful death at home. Sharon will 
be remembered by her loved ones, friends, and clients as one of the most intelligent, 
perceptive, intuitive, empathic, emotionally knowledgeable people they have ever 
known. Her amazing healing powers as a body worker are only rivaled by her keen 
insight into human interactions. She counseled and helped many friends and family 
members and gave of herself selflessly without being asked. Sharon's love of life and 
enthusiasm was contagious inspired those around her. An intensely spiritual person, 
Sharon pursued inner knowledge, meaning, and truth passionately throughout her life. 
Sharon is survived by her loving husband, Ralph Matson, her mother, Lonny Myers, 
MD, four siblings (Susan, Sheila, Sherwood, and Sandra) and seven nieces and 
nephews. A private memorial service will be held later this summer.
