Shari Graham

Shari Graham passed away October 7, 2024 at age 77. She was proceeded in death by husband Richard Graham and step-son Scott (Bobbie) Graham. Beloved mother of Denise (David) Hall, Julie (Steve) Hamil, Stacey (Shannon) Costello, and Eddie (Rita) Adamczyk and stepdaughter Sandy (Michael) Anchor. She was the proud grandmother to Nicole, Tyler Rice and Justin (Allie) Hall, Chloe and Olivia Hamil, Zachary (Sara), Dylan, and Morgan Costello, Angelina & Alyssa Adamczyk, Zachery, Jessica, and Joshua Anchor, Colin and Jared Graham. She was an adoring great grandmother to Natalie Costello, Erin Hall and D’Angelo, Gino, Valentina.

Sharon passed away at Unity Hospital surrounded by her children and grandchildren. Her final day on earth was filled with friends and family, laughs and tears, and the power ballads of Cher and Tina Turner. And just like the icons of her era, Shari will be remembered as a woman with an innate sense of confidence and tenacious commitment to living her life on her terms; a legacy that will continue to inspire the women fortunate enough to call her friend, mom, grandma, and so much more.

As requested, there will be no memorial services. In her own words, Shari invites those wishing to celebrate her life to, “just have a glass of red wine for me.” In lieu of flowers please consider donating to one of the many causes Shari was passionate about:
