Shari Jean Noland, 54, of Parkersburg departed this life peacefully at her home on June 21, 2018 after battling Mitochondrial Disease for nearly two decades. Thanks to Hospice care, she was able to spend her last days surrounded by her loved ones. Shari was born on July 23, 1963 in Chula Vista, California to the late James and Virginia (Eloi) Miller. Shari was a member of the Lubeck Church of Christ. She graduated from Groveport Madison High School in Groveport, Ohio in 1980; and obtained an Associate’s Degree in Nursing from West Virginia University-Parkersburg in 1998 after being a stay-at-home mom until all of her children started school. She worked as a Registered Nurse at Camden-Clark Memorial Hospital and in the office of Dr. Naresh Menezes from 1998-2003. Her reputation as an exceptional nurse has followed her even to her death, and is remembered to have always had a smile on her face no matter how she was feeling.
Shari is survived by her husband of nearly 37 years Randy Noland, her mother Virginia Miller, three children Jonathan Noland (Krystal), Jennifer Sprague (Van), and Jason Noland. Four grandchildren Victoria Sprague, Isabella Sprague, James Noland, and Christopher Sprague; as well as her siblings Jeffrey Miller, Debbie Smithers, and Bill Miller.
