She was the loving mother of David Alan Schefter, his wife Leasha, and her daughter Kris Schefter. Her greatest joy was her grandchildren; Amanda Gaffney (Marianne), Morgan Gaffney (Aman), Maegan Schefter, and Molly Schefter (Dylan).
Sharleen had a group of lifelong friends whom affectionately called themselves the “Snitch & Bitch” club. Their friendship brought her joy, love, and adventure throughout her life.

I am very sorry for your loss. I have had the pleasure of knowing Sharleen for many years in our Trefoil Guild. I loved her tales of the Snitch and Bitch Club and the antics that Grace and her would get up to. She will be missed.

Today, we lit a candle in memory of Sharleen in the Church of San Francesco built in 1245 and situated in the small hill town of Cortona, Tuscany, Italy.
We all mourn the loss of a wonderful mother, grandmother, aunt, sister-in-law and friend.
