Shari L. Petersen
February 11, 1953 — November 12, 2012
Shari Lynn Petersen was born on February 11, 1953 to Carroll and Gloria (Wiig) Kallevig in Manning, Iowa. She attended the Irwin-Kirkman Community Schools and graduated with the Class of 1971. She furthered her education at Iowa Western Community College in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

Shari worked as a caregiver to her brother-in-law, Gary Petersen, and several other people throughout the years. Her passions were riding motorcycles, garage saling and finding special things for her nieces, and grocery shopping. She loved couponing, refunding, and running errands for people. If she was able to help someone, she did it gladly. Her "baby" was Gordy - her dog that went everywhere with her.
