The Service will be Livestreamed. Memorial contributions may be made in Sharen’s memory to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Condolences at www.raisianfuneralhome.com

Heartbroken over the sad news of our cousin Sharen's passing. I have many, many family and eventful memories of Sharen, from her walking me to kindergarten class at Lakeview Elementary School, taking the scarey shortcut through the fields where the large fishnets were treated, to the trips to Las Vegas and Wisconsin casinos. (She ALWAYS won, I didn't). We often visited Sharen and David when we lived in Minnesota and later traveled there for summer visits with Alan. We are all thankful for the lifetime of family photos and videos and special gifts she, David and Jimmy presented to the Seniors. She was always caring and generous in everything she did. Year after year, she traveled to be with the Family until she was unable, but still kept us all connected through FB, messages and phone calls. Being the great photographer she was, I'm sure she would give me advice on how to make these photos perfect. I spoke with her on her 80th birthday in September. There was a party going on and she was also looking forward to seeing Greg, Amanda and the grandkids that weekend for another celebration. She was happy. The close relationship she had with Melina and her children was so special. It was one way for Melina and Sharen to share their love of Pam. Barry, Alan and I offer our deepest sympathy to David, Greg and his Family, and Jimmy. Sharen's passing is such a painful and great loss to all of our Family, the Family that she loved so dearly. Rest in Peace Cousin and celebrate Pam's birthday and Christmas with her. I will always remember you, your sense of humor and you being the Number 1 grandchild. You have always been special. Love, Diane

Jim Speer Thanks all the memories is Sharen, she was indeed "special!' As I always called her

Sheila Schneider Diane, that was such a beautiful tribute. You captured her to a ‘T’. She truly was kind and generous. She loved coming to the reunions and always seemed to enjoy being with family.She also had a great sense of humor. Her smile and laugh were infectious. I can’t believe she’s gone. She will surely be missed by all who knew and loved her . I too would like to extend my sincerest condolences to David, Greg & Amanda and Jimmy as well as her grandchildren. Rest in peace our dear Sharen. You will be remembered with love and treasured for your kindness.

Faye Kazimer That was beautiful Diane. Sharen touched so many lives I never realized how many of us looked up to her. She kept the family informed and updated for birthday, anniversaries and special occasions.... with all the photos she had. We always looked forward to her old-fashioned slideshows when she's come back to Conneaut. I know Pam and Rosie were waiting to greet her, and youare right Diane, she gets to spend Christmas with Pam and Rosie ( her two angels in heaven), so many other family and relatives

Michele Gurto David, Greg, Amanda, Jimmy & grandsons: Sharen was a special person & deeply loved. She will be missed but not forgotten. You are in my prayers. May loving memories of Sharen & knowing that she knew is with Pam, her parents, and other family & friends for eternity provide comfort. RIP my dear cousin ♥️. Michele
