Sharon Arnett Obituary
Sharon "Shari" Arnett (Rowand), 56, of Cadiz, Ohio, peacefully passed away on August 6, 2025, surrounded by her loved ones.
Born on September 20, 1968, in Fairmont, WV, Shari was the cherished daughter of Cleo "Walter" and Sarah (Disbro) Rowand. She graduated from East Fairmont High School in 1986, carrying with her a kind heart and a bright spirit that touched everyone she met.
For more than 38 years, Shari was devoted to the love of her life, Clifford "Cliff" Arnett. Together they built a beautiful life, raising two wonderful daughters, Ashley (Joshua) McMahon and Chelsey Arnett. Her greatest joy was her family, and she poured her heart into every moment with them.
Shari had a gift for creating beauty in the world - through her crafts, her laughter, and her love of the outdoors. She found joy in camping, riding side-by-sides, and making memories with her family and friends.
She is survived by her husband, Clifford Arnett; daughters Ashley (Joshua) McMahon and Chelsey Arnett; grandchildren Colby and Haygen McMahon; siblings Debbie Hanisch, Pam White, and Garry Rowand; mother-in-law Andrea (Shuttlesworth) Conrad; sister-in-law April Maddox; her faithful four-legged companion, Rocky; and many extended family members and dear friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Cleo and Sarah Rowand, and father-in-law Carl "Punk" Arnett.
In keeping with her wishes, there will be no services. Those who wish to honor her memory may do so by making a donation to their local Breast Cancer Center.
Shari is now at peace, reunited with her beloved mom and dad. Her warmth, adventurous spirit, and unwavering love will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
