Shari Morrow, age 63, died Monday, April 15, 2019 at her home on the WineCup ranch in Folsom, New Mexico.

Memorial services were held at 2:00 P.M. on Thursday, April 25, 2019 at the Des Moines School Gymnasium in Des Moines, New Mexico. Arrangements were under the direction of Hass Funeral Directors of Clayton, New Mexico.

Shari was born in Raton, New Mexico in February of 1956, the second child of Richard and June Bannon, and grew up on the family ranch in Northeast New Mexico. As a child, she was happiest helping Granddaddy Leonard with the horses and cattle and developed a lifelong love of both—which she instilled in her daughters. Shari enjoyed rodeoing and showing home-raised cattle. She attended New Mexico State where she obtained a Bachelor's of Science in Animal Science in three years, ran track, and judged livestock. Shari was proud to be a fifth generation rancher and returned home to help work the ranch her great-great grandmother homesteaded. She loved her cows, and for her favorites, could identify three generations. She felt privileged to be called to care for the land and animals entrusted to her stewardship. Shari and her three dogs were well known and loved in the community. She would always stop to offer a helping hand and unfailingly treated everyone with respect and dignity. She employed her dry wit with skillful timing learned from her dad. She was genuine, kind, and had steadfast faith in a God whose mercies are new every morning. She was preceded by her brother, Jeffrey Richard Bannon of Folsom, New Mexico, and her dad, Frank Richard Bannon also of Folsom, New Mexico.
