Sharry Harper Obituary
May 2, 1942 - May 29, 2023
Springville, UT-Our beloved wife, mother, grandmother and friend, Sharry Ita Harper, age 81, passed away May 29, 2023, after battling with her second bout of colon cancer. She passed away peacefully in her sleep with her loving husband, Bob or "Harper" as she called him, by her side. Sharry chose to spend her final days in her home (their motorhome) parked in Earp, CA along the Colorado River outside the Lake Havasu area. After selling their home in Delta, Utah and the bulk of their personal belongings, they spent the last several years traveling with their dogs (the late "Punkin" and "Mouse") from Washington to Pennsylvania visiting family and friends, stopping to take in the sights along the way. Bob will greatly miss his best friend but will have the many memories they created over their 42 years of marriage to cherish for the years to come.
Sharry is survived by her husband Robert Harper, brother Rob (Barb), daughter Kerrie (Cindy), son Michael (Liz), stepdaughter Tina, 8 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents, James and Eunice Gregg, and her brother Phil.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date in Utah.
