With profound sadness and a heavy heart, we announce the passing of Shari Ann Beck, a cherished mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, who departed this world peacefully on May 28, 2026, at the age of 63. Shari was surrounded by her beloved family, a testament to the love and devotion that marked her life. Born on November 13, 1962, in Springfield, Ohio, Shari was a beacon of warmth and kindness, the beloved daughter of Patricia Crable and Lloyd McPherson. Her early years were spent in Springfield, where she began to weave the tapestry of a life filled with compassion, resilience, and an unwavering dedication to those she loved. Shari was predeceased by her loving parents and her siblings, George and Linda, who she now joins in eternal rest. She is survived by her devoted children, Tasha Wiggins, Tabitha Rice, and Joshua Rice, along with her siblings Tonya, Eddie, Ty Allen, Brenda, and Kelly, who each held a special place in her heart. The joy of Shari’s life was undoubtedly her grandchildren, Kayla Wiggins, Faith Wiggins, Cheyenne Smith, Larry Smith, Robert Smith, Justice Rice, Jocelyn Rice, Ryan Cox, Hayley Poe, and David Poe. Her ten grandchildren were her pride and joy, and she cherished every moment spent with them. Shari also shared a special bond with her beloved fur-baby, Moonpie, who was her constant companion and brought her endless joy. Shari’s life was a celebration of simple pleasures. She found happiness in the everyday moments, whether watching her favorite soap operas and game shows with Moonpie by her side or embracing the laughter and love that filled her home. Her spirit was a beautiful blend of kindness, strength, and grace, qualities that she imparted to her family and all who were fortunate enough to know her. To honor Shari's life, a memorial service will be held on June 27, 2026, at This and That Bar and Grill's Banquet Ballroom, located at 2205 Park Rd, Springfield, OH 45504. It is here that family and friends will gather to celebrate her life, share fond memories, and offer solace to one another in their shared grief. The family offers a special message to Shari: "We love you and will miss you longer than we were able to love you. I hope you are dancing in the sky."
