Sharica “Shari” Lynn Marie (Schoolcraft) Griffin

Sharica “Shari”  Lynn Marie (Schoolcraft) Griffin, 48, of Howard City, formerly of Afton, lost her battle with cancer at 12:38 a.m. Tuesday, September 14, 2021. Born in Cheboygan February 2, 1973, Shari was the daughter of Jack and Lois (Arntz) Schoolcraft. 

Shari is survived by her husband of 14 years, Brian Wayne Griffin of Howard City; son, Dawson Begle of Howard City; daughters, Kattie Begle of Oklahoma and Shyanne (Cody) Estes of Alabama; and two grandchildren, Addison and Kase Begle. Shari also leaves her parents, Jack and Lois Schoolcraft of Afton; grandfather, Lorenzo Schoolcraft also of Afton; sisters, Tamila “Tami” (Cory) Carlson of Afton and Evah (Gene) Splan of Ocqueoc; brother, Jack II (Michelle) Schoolcraft of Afton; and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. 

Shari loved her Creator God, asked Jesus to forgive her of sin, and loved her family and friends. She always prayed for

each of us, especially when we traveled or were facing difficulties in our lives. Shari always thanked the God of Heaven for answered prayers. She enjoyed fishing, camping, traveling, music, and especially her family and friends. Kind-hearted and very loving, she was giving to those in need even when she couldn’t afford it. She was even more generous with her prayers for others. She was truly a prayer warrior. 

Please join Shari’s family in a Celebration of Life to reminisce and share memories at the Afton Community Hall at 7021 Montgomery Road in Afton at 2 p.m. Sunday, September 26. 

Shari’s final resting place will be in Entrican at Hillside Cemetery. Those planning an expression of sympathy please consider a donation in memory of Shari to Cheboygan County Salvation Army.
