Sharlene was a beautiful person outside and inside. Second cousin Peter just reminded me that Shar was asked to prove her age when we were at a restaurant 40 years ago. She lighted up the room when she entered.
She was the sister I never had. We played together as children at the Wagley farm and Lake Vermiion in Minnesota. As adults, we continued to vacation with our families at Lake Vermilion and brother Dennis' in Wisconsin. There are so many memories of the good times together.
We supported each other through many challenges we both had throughout our lives. Also, she was supported to her family and friends.
Sharlene leaves us with many great memories. I believe she is at peace with her young sons, mother, dad, aunts, friends and others who have gone before her.
My deepest condolences to her sons and their families.

My 2 cousins, Pat and Sharlene, would often stay with our aunt Ina in Minnesota (Lake Vermilion) during the summer.
I have many happy memories of our time together.
My deepest condolences to all at this very sad time.
