I am blessed to have known Sharell for most of my life. We shared morning coffee in her dining room every day for almost 20 years. She unconditionally loved and accepted me into her family and has continued to show love to me and my family. Sharell is a one of a kind and I will miss her deeply. But, I am so happy she is where she wants to be, basking in her Lords glory. Till we meet again Sharell! Love you!

Sharell was such a light. I was always happy to swing by her and Don's apartment to say hello and wish them well. Sharell loved animals, bean bag baseball, and music. She was eager to share her love and passion with all she encountered. I consider it an honor to have known her.
