Sharon Maurer-Schwarz

Born in 1939, Sharon Maurer-Schwartz’s life experiences have traversed a groundbreaking era: she’s a female, Jewish, and a married to a Protestant lesbian, Edna (Andie) Rice. Since her youth, Sharon has explored her Judaism and came to recognize her personal identity as an adult. Her Judaic foundation began in the Reconstructionist movement in Indianapolis, Indiana. She has never wavered from her religious identity, though she has belonged to various types of synagogues when she moved to Las Vegas in 1999. Sharon is the driving force of her life coaching business – Growth Unlimited.
