When Shari was still very young her family moved to Short Creek, Arizona and her father passed on when she was six years old. Her mother joined Richard S. Jessop’s family and Shari grew up with the Jessop family. She attended school at Short Creek Elementary for her early education and graduated from the Colorado City Academy. She married Jonathan Marion Daunt Hammon June 3, 1963.

Her life and labors within the Hammon family was one of loving service to everyone around her. She was the house mother for many years and the children of the family remember her for her dedication to their care and comfort, especially the delicious, home cooked meals. As her health declined, she went to live with her daughters where she continued to love and care for their families until she was physically unable to do so. Shari was a legend in her own time inspiring those around her with her steadfastness to the gospel and long-suffering from great trials throughout her life. She made a magnificent contribution to the world around her and is greatly missed.
