Our wonderful sister, wife, mother, grandmother and aunt, Sharlene Manchester Kaul, went back to Mother Earth on March 25, 2020.
She was born Dec. 13, 1944, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Morris P. Manchester and Shirley Miller Manchester. She was the eldest of eight children. Her early life was spent traveling with her career army father and mother to mostly west coast duty stations. She was known from an early age for her fabulous painting and artistic skills — Mr. Skidmore’s prize student. She added watercolor to her oil painting skills in recent years.
She married Daniel Gene Kaul on June 25, 1965, in Erda, Utah. She and Danny lived in California, Salt Lake City, and Stansbury Park, Utah, and most recently in Mesquite, Nevada, where she passed away.
Sharlene was the epitome of the social butterfly and loved everyone. She was generous to a fault and sent her family and friends cards and gifts for every occasion. She loved Rock and Roll, casinos and all creatures, especially pigs.
She was preceded in death by her mother and father. She is survived by her husband Danny; daughter and son-in-law Carla and Jason Huggard; two grandsons Castle and Logan; siblings Mary, Leslie (Bud), David, Elizabeth (Liz), Dorothy (Dot), William (Bill) and John; and numerous nieces and nephews, cousins, and Aunt Ruth. She was extremely proud of her career as a Salt Lake County Sheriff’s dispatcher which left her with an uncountable number of friends. All of this from a life well spent.
As per her wishes, she will be cremated and a memorial will be held at a later date. We will notify the family and keep you updated through social media.
Happy travels to the casino on the other side, our sweetest Sharlene.
