| Arizona Daily Sun Flagstaff, Arizona Saturday, October 24, 2009 Sharlene G. Larkin, 56, of Flagstaff, died Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2009. A native of Southern California, Mrs. Larkin was born Nov. 14, 1952, to Loren and Enza Nelson. In 1979, she and her husband, John, moved to Flagstaff, where they opened Flagstaff Bicycle & Fitness, a business they built together over the next 30 years. She loved to be outdoors, particularly riding her tandem with John. Her passions were her family, traveling (especially to Italy) and great food. She often managed to combine all three to the joy of those who accompanied her. Her three granddaughters were her greatest joy and she delighted in playing with them. She will be greatly missed by her friends and family for her joy of life and her laughter. Sharlene is survived by her husband of 38 years, John Larkin Jr. of Flagstaff; daughter Heather (Steven) Lampert of Phoenix; son Shane (Shaudi) of Boston; three granddaughters; her mother, Enza Nelson of Yucaipa, Calif.; siblings Yvonne (Wolfgang) of Yorba Linda, Calif., and Ron (Vicky) of New Delhi, India; nieces; a great-niece; and great-nephews. A funeral Mass will be Monday at 11 a.m. at St. Pius X Catholic Church, 2257 E. Cedar Ave., in Flagstaff. Burial will follow at Citizens Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Northland Hospice and Palliative Care, P.O. Box 997, Flagstaff, AZ 86002. Condolences can be sent to her family at www.norvelowensmortuary.com. Norvel Owens Mortuary is handling arrangements. See Also: Find A Grave |
