Shirley Scharf

It is with profound sadness that I offer my sympathies to all of Shirley's family. Over 20 years ago, Shirley and Gene took me in and treated me as one of their own, an act for which I will forever be grateful. Shirley was one of the most loving people I have ever met. And after all these years with all the different jobs I've held, she is still the best boss for which I've ever had the pleasure to work.
To the family, I'm sorry I heard of her death too late to offer my condolences...

Hal, Kim and family,
Shirley was a very caring person who always looked out for the welfare of others. Our prayers are with your family at this time and always.

Laura, Kim, Lisa, Hal, Doug, Steve and all of your loved ones:
Words can not express enough how much we will miss 'Momma Scharf". She took us in and treated us like family right from the start. We will miss her very much and pray for you all during this loss of such a wonderful mom. I'll always remember her at your kitchen(Laura) peeling potatoes and onions. She was a awesome woman with such a big heart and we were so blessed to have been a part of her life and to such a wonderful,...

To all the children, grandchildren and relatives of Shirley, my deepest sympathy. Shirley and the Scharf family were great neighbors for many years. I missed her when she moved away and I shall miss her now that she is gone. She left a large family and many friends behind as evidence of her presence here on earth. She will be missed by many.

Hal, Kim and family,
I was very sadden to hear this news, I'm sorry I can't be there in person but know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. I know Shirley will be missed very much, she was a great friend, a wondefull colleague and a mom to us all.

On behalf of the Gibson Family, my deepest sympathy goes out to Hal, Steve, Kim, Doug, Laura and Lisa. On Estes Drive, Shirley was our mother, too -- as were the two Bettys and Lois. Because you know, you couldn't get away with anything as our moms were watching all of us, all the time. And now they're all gone. I imagine them in heaven laughing and having a grand old time, and watching over us all once again.

Dear Hal, Kim, John, Lisa and the entire Scharf Family,

When Tami and I first moved to St. Louis with baby in tow over 20 years ago, we didn't know anyone in the area. Shirley and the rest of you welcomed us and treated us like family. I soon learned that family and sharing hospitality with others was what Shirley was all about.

My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. Yet I can't help but smile when I think of Shirley and the truly amazing legacy she has...

I enjoyed working with Shirley all those years at Red Roof Inns. She always made me smile when I heard her voice on the phone. The memory of her will last forever. She touched my heart. May your memory of her bring you comfort and even make you smile. She is in Heaven.

I am so saddened to hear of Shirley's passing. What a classy, caring person. I was in St. Louis a few weeks back on business, drove by the Florrisant Red roof Inn, and my first thought was of her. She and her entire family are the kind of people this world needs more of. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.
