Shari Fenton was a great person and very unique. She was very kind and had the heat of an angel. I've known her for over forty years since I arrived in the USA. She has helped many underprivileged children, and her heart was full of love. Shari welcomed anyone into her life and extended herself for the sake of others. Her selfless acts of kindness have impacted hundreds of lives, and she only cared about improving the lives of children in need. Shari gave back to the community everyday of her life and was a "TRUE SAINT". We love you and you will be missed.

Shari is a definition of angel on earth. My family, peers, and I have known Shari since the early 90's. My childhood was nostalgic thanks to Shari. Every school year she provided all the children with new school supplies, shoes, and clothes. It made us all excited and look forward to going to school.
Shari provided the children with tutors to help them do their homework.
Every holiday was fun and memorable. She bought children costumes and took us to haunted houses every Halloween.
Every Christmas she had gifts for us to open. Every thanksgiving we had turkey and extra food
Every Easter we made Easter baskets.
Every summer we did art, many other fun activities, and take field trips every friday- roller skating, swimming, arcade, zoo, etc .
Shari put myself and many other children through private school paying our tuition and transportation. I was a troubled teen but thanks to Shari she help me down the right path finishing highschool and going to college.
She dedicated her entire life to the children in her community. She will be missed. We love you Shari.

I first met Shari through my work at Juvenile Court in the 90s. She was selfless, dedicated and totally committed to the kids with whom she worked in her program. She impacted many young lives. She will be missed.
