I met Sharal in 1982 during Audio and Acoustics class at The Spaghetti Works recording studio in Azusa.  I was in college, busily discovering an audio engineering career. She and a friend were there from high school hanging out, watching and learning and dreaming. It was a heady time. We’d often go out to the Hollywood hills with other college friends where Sharal was inspired to do music, which she loves. 
We reconnected from the 90s until now. Over the years she’d be passing through Madison on a Herbie Hancock tour or something, or I’d be out west taking care of my parents in Pasadena. 
She is a bright light finding a way to the next adventure. I miss her terribly.

Sharal was a big influence in my life- I was her assistant when I moved to Los Angeles in the 90s and she gave me my first music coordinator credit on a film.  She was smart, funny and super talented!  She was a wonderful friend - sending love to her family and remembering her today & always.  Tracy x

I remember when many of us were  at my grandma Elisas house playing video games and swimming in the backyard during the summer time.   Every time I would go to the movies I would say my cousin is a music editor I got to wait for the credits I got to look for her name.   May her soul rest in peace, amen. 

I just found out today about your passing. I am saddened to find out you were sick for many years.  The last time I saw you was at Lydia’s 75 birthday celebration. You looked great!  I’ll always remember your pretty face and smile.  
RIP dear Sharal.

My soul sister,

I will miss you everyday. You were my inspiration, my friend and when I needed it, my voice of logic. 

You shared your family adventures with your rambunctious boys amd beautiful Karen.

Who is going to give me bad boyfriend advice with laughter? 

I love you with all of my heart and will never understand why you're not here. I hope you visit us in our dreams. 






To our dearest Sharal,
You have embedded many fond memories through your generosity, love and caring spirit. 
I truly will miss you and your beautiful smile.
Thanks for being a wonderful cousin to your families in Hawaii.
May you fly with angels with no pain or suffering. 
We love you and will dearly miss you.
Cousin
Gaile Nitta and the rest of the Nitta ohana.

I will always remember Sharal as being kind, down-to-earth, and easy to get along with.  I felt very comfortable with Sharal from the first moment I met her.  She was humble and so nice.  
Although i didn't get to see Sharal very often since we live on Oahu, when I did see her & get to talk to her, she was always relaxed & easy to talk to.
I never really knew nor understood what Sharal's profession was but I knew she had a brilliant mind, was a successful entrepreneur & business owner.
I pray that the Lord will comfort and give peace to her mom & family during this time.
I will miss her but I know we will see her again one day .  .  .  .  .

Sharal was my friend, my neighbor and my cohort in the neighborhood disaster preparedness organization she helped found. Her generocity of spirit touched many. She helped spearhead many neighborhood events and was always a smiling participant. Her expert guidance helped steer our group. My heartfelt condolences go to her dear family. I'm standing by if there's anything I can do. Virtual hugs!
