Praise God, girl, You are now in the loving arms of our FatherGod for all Eternity in your mansion in Heaven with the animals you’ve loved in the past and will welcome others to come, Genesis 9:10-12. I met you as a neighbor for a time and God used me to pray into your life your move to Houston. You received and made Jesus, the Lord of your life in this time. I remember our drive to the animal place in Eureka Springs. Jesus will always love you forever and one day we shall meet, again.

Shari was always pleasant and easy to work with. She was a competent nurse, and you could always count on her to carry her weight during a Cath Lab case. My heart is so saddened. Prayers for her family and friends.

Shari, such a beautiful soul. Always a smile on your face and a joy to be around. You were filled with life and lit up a room with laughter. I had so much fun with you at work and when we hung out. I will miss you sweet friend. 😇

My heart pounds in my chest just seeing your name here. Tears fall like raindrops. Oh girl, this is a hard one. This week at work, so many times I thought of funny things I would have texted to you just a few short weeks ago, then I remember that I would not get a reply. All the pups are good!! They are all taken care of. Shari.... I just cannot believe this. Maybe I never will. You know now what the entrance to Heaven looks like. For the rest of us, we will still keep the faith. I know one thing, you better be having the best steak and the best beer up there!! I think God would allow it. With Love.... Cindy

I’m sadden to hear of the passing of Shari. I had the pleasure of working with her for 10+ yrs at St. Lukes. She had a heart of gold and a personality to match. That definitely showed that in her work as a nurse. Sending prayers for understanding and healing during this difficult time to the Sholwalter family and her Cath lab family as well. She will be missed! RIP

Shari and I worked at McDonald’s together in high school. I remember the night before we were taking the ACT. We had to go out of town to take it. We packed up her white mustang and went by the liquor store (I think she was so pretty that they would just sell it to her in those days) to get the little pony bottles of Miller beer. We headed to the hotel where we’re staying and drank all the beer. We were so hung over taking that test. She was always good for an adventure. When I went back to Springdale for the 10 year reunion, she was on my list of people I wanted to see but she didn’t show up. I left a note on her door before I left town telling her that I was sad that I didn’t get to see her. My heart is broken to know that smile that made her eyes look like commas are no more. Wishing peace and comfort for her family and friends.

Shari and I was neighbors for a long time and I use to teach her how to make a good steak and she was learning a lot form me and my daughter. One summer day she left town and had me in charges of the Dogs oh boy she called me and see how things were going,of course I said well but I didn't tell her Alex the dog was lying in the backyard with his legs in the air I said what did I do to Alex he didn't moved at all I had feed him to much food so come to find out that he was sunbathing,when I told Shari She laughed so hard and that she trusted me with her Dogs and Alex was always on my back porch sunbathing. May she rest in peace and she will always be a part of me

I was surprised and saddened to hear about Shari’s passing. What an amazing and funny person. My heart is heavy today. To the family, Shari touched so many lives for the good. I’m grateful I had the chance to know her as both a colleague (St Luke) and a cherished friend.
Shari was a lovely person, who will be deeply missed.

Dear Greg and the Showalter Family.
So sorry for your loss. Shari will be greatly missed. Although I hadn't worked with Shari for many years, the memories of our times at work and off duty at St. Luke's will stay with me forever. Shari was someone you could talk to for hours and never run out of things to say. My fondest memory of Shari was when she, Elda, me, my husband Steve, and my niece Jasmine were at Pappadeaux's in Kemah. It was a beautiful summer day and we were outside with great food and conversation. We all enjoyed ourselves tremendously. I just wish we were able to do it again. But since we weren't able to do it again in this life, I look forward to it in our next. RIP dear Shari.

Shari, I enjoyed working with you and hanging out with you and your dogs. Loved going to musicals with you. Miss that I didn't get to see you since I moved. Shari may you rest in peace and be surrounded by your family and comforted by God.

I worked with Shari for almost 20 years at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital in Houston. She was very sweet and kind and well liked by everyone. I will miss her.
