Sharalyn Doris Esterly was called to the loving arms of our lord and Savior on February 5th, 2022. She was 78 years old.
Sharalyn was born October 3rd, 1943 to Vera Esterly (Fernau) and Charles Esterly. She was preceded in death by her 4 brothers. Kenny Esterly, Dean Esterly, Don Esterly, and John Esterly, along with her parents.
She attended Scottsbluff High School and married Earl Eugene Buskirk in 1961 and had 5 children.
Eugene (& Pam) Buskirk, Roger (& Nancy) Buskirk,Teresa LeMay, Sharry (& Sonny) Johnson, and Charlene (& Scott) Bernhardt.
She enjoyed spending time with her children, numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren along with nieces, nephews and Family members.
Her kindness and humor will be passed throughout the generations.
There are so many things that can be said about Sharri. So many in fact, that we could fill many pages. One of her favorite past times was cooking, and we were so blessed.
I think her life is summed up as in the poem “The Dash by Linda Ellis” It is all about the time we all shared and loved and took the time to make those minutes count. There was always a lesson in her words, something to share with us. This describes just a small part of our beautiful mother. The rest are all memories for all of us to remember.
The dash by Linda Ellis
I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on the tombstone from the beginning to the end.
He noted the dash represents all the time that they spent life on earth, and now only those who loved them know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not how much we own, the cars, the house, the cash.
What matters is how we LIVE and lOVE, and how we spend the dash.
So think about this long and hard,are there things you’d like to change? For you never know how much time is left and that can still be rearranged.
If we can just slow down enough to consider whats true and real, and always try to understand the way other people feel.
Be less quick to anger, and show appreciation more, and love the people in our lives like we’ve never loved before.
If we treat eachother with respect and more often wear a smile, remembering that this special dash might only last awhile
So when your eulogy is being read with your life actions to rehash, would you be proud of the things they say, about how you spent your dash.
In loving memory;
Sharalyn Doris Esterly 1943-2022
