To all of Shari’s family,
I was so sorry to read of Shari’s death this a.m. It has been awhile since I have seen her, but check with her friend Carolyn, at the beauty shop about her all the time.
Shari did my hair for many many years, until she retired. She was always a joy. We compared kids and grandkids stories for many years, and enjoyed.
She will be missed by many. I am sending my Sympathy to each and everyone of the family.
Love, Charlene

Steve, I was looking for the obituary for my uncle when I saw your moms name here. I’m so sorry to hear about this. It’s been years since I’ve laid eyes on you, but I’ve bumped in to her several times since. I couldn’t pass by without telling you I’m so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers in this difficult time.

Sharon and I were good friends in HS with a few other ‘Sharon’s', I think there was at least 4 of us that stuck pretty close together. I always remember the slumber parties that we had at her house and spending the nights doing our ‘BIG’ hair do’s in Dolly’s beauty shop. We always had so much fun. Dolly always said we could use the shop…..as long as we cleaned it up in the morning.
We have only kept in contact a few times over the years as we all got busy with our families, etc. I will be thinking of you all ….Carol and Bill are probably the only two that would remember me as they were often with us back then. I know that you will miss her a lot as she was always so fun to be with.
Steve and Jeff, I know you have not heard from me ,i’ve been in Florida 22 yrs now. Very Very sorry to hear about your mother.Mine is still at 1313 but not much longer for her I dread the thought of what you guys are going through. I would love a call when things settle. I wish you the best.

Leroy,Richie,Pumpkin,
I am so sorry to hear of Aunt Sharon’s passing. I know it has been a very long time since you heard from me. Probably since we where young teen agers and I happened to move away with my mom (joan yeager)to another state. I have very fond memories of Aunt Sharon eating heads of cabage and onions. And how so very beautiful she was when I was a kid. I remember all the good times we had getting together for family times( christmas, thanksgiving, playing cards etc.) at Grandpa Yeager and Grandma Dolly’s house. I always loved it when Aunt Sharon would come and just sit and talk. I remember the time she met Leroy and was on cloud nine. I hear that Aunt Sharon and Uncle Leroy still live in the same house I visited when they had just bought it. It does seem like a life time since then and I guess it has been. I do want to say how very sorry I am and that Aunt Sharon will be greatly missed. Love Jan (Jack Yeager’ Sr. ‘s daughter) and family.
Leroy and family,
I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Sharon. I know it has been a long time since we have stayed in touch with one another and with that I am deeply saddened. As being a step-brother she was the only sister I knew. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to Leroy and kids. I do not believe I will be able to make it to the funeral due to medical problems myself. But l do wnat you to know that you are in my thoughts. Jack and wife Peggy Yeager.
Leroy,Richie,Pumpkin,
I am very sorry to hear about Aunt Sharon’s death. I feel terrible that I have not been in touch with you all since I left Kansas.That was almost 33 years ago. I have fond memories of Aunt Sharon with how so very beautiful she was. She would sit on the couch as Grandpa and Grandma Dolly Yeager’s house eating a head of cabage and onions straight. I always believed that was her secret to being so beautiful. I even gave it a try when I got older. Have told many people about my Aunts secret to being pretty. I remember when she me Leroy, married him, bought a new home. I remember great times with Aunt Sharon. She will be greatly missed. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Jan Yeager-Hollinsworth ( Jack Yeager’s daughter)
Dear Leroy,
My heartfelt condolences to you and the rest of the Bayless family. I know your hearts are breaking..
I’m sorry I can’t be there in person, but please know I’m thinking of, and will say a prayer for all the family.
