Gardiner [BYH Class of 1972] Holweg (Timothy). ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Shari Colleen Gardiner Holweg passed away on November 24th, 2017 in the loving arms of her husband and her two sons. Shari was born on August 10, 1954 to J. Max Gardiner and Mildred (Bonnett) Gardiner and grew up in the Provo/Orem area. Shari attended Brigham Young High School until it was closed in 1968 then graduated from Provo High School. She briefly attended the University of Utah before transferring to BYU after a severe broken leg brought her back home. While attending BYU and working the night shift at a local gas station, she met the love of her life, Tim Holweg. After a whirlwind courtship, they were married on March 29, 1976. Tim and Shari worked very hard to save up for a downpayment on a house so they could start their family. They purchased a home in West Provo where they have stayed ever since. Shari truly loved her neighborhood and all of her neighbors very much; it has been the perfect place to raise their family. Their first child was their beautiful baby girl, Bonnie, who passed away shortly after birth due to complications of premature birth. A few years later, they had their second child, Seth, and shortly thereafter, Jeff. Shari always supported and encouraged her boys and their dreams in life. She even let them turn the garage into their band practice studio and hang out lounge for friends. Shari always had room in her home and heart for any family and friends who needed a loving place to stay. She was a dedicated public servant and always stood up and fought for the “little guy”. Everyone knew that if they needed help in any way, Shari was the one to go to. She always knew the best course of action and she thoroughly enjoyed helping others every chance she had. It wasn’t until she became a grandmother that she realized her true calling in life. Her grandchildren were the light of her life and her world truly did revolve around them. Even in her last days, she would always smile and light up when they came to visit. She truly was the best grandmother a child could hope for and her grandsons will miss her dearly. We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to all of our family and friends that have been so helpful and loving during the last several months. All of the love and support you have given Shari, Tim and our entire family is truly, deeply appreciated more than you will ever know. Shari is survived by her husband, Tim Holweg, Provo; two sons, Seth Holweg (Sherry), Provo; Jeff Holweg (Vanessa), Provo; one sister, Jeanie Campbell, Provo; and four grandsons, Marcus, Maddox, Max and Collin. She is preceded in death by her daughter, Bonnie Colleen Holweg and her parents, J. Max Gardiner and Mildred Bonnett Gardiner. Graveside services were held on Saturday, December 2, 2017 at the Provo City Cemetery, 610 South State Street, Provo, Utah. [Provo Daily Herald, November 29, 2017] |
