A life so beautifully lived deserves to be beautifully remembered...

Loving Matriarch, Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Daughter, Sister, Cousin, Friend, & a Faithful Inspirational Angel on Earth: Sharon "Sherry" Einer - Culver, 82, of Solana Beach, Ca, was surrounded by many loving family members when she crossed over the rainbow bridge, on January 24, 2023, after a long, honorable, full & courageous **life. 

**UPDATE 02/09/23 we received some very insightful wisdom thanks to a lovely memory video (upload for others to see coming soon!) from Sherry's doctor, Dr. Winkler.  Thank you for the mindful insight you shared with us about our dear Sherry, your patient, Dr. Winkler, "Sherry did not pass from cancer..." - Sherry's dance card was full.  Sherry lived a full & well-educated life.  Sherry was tired, & ready.  We are relieved that her passing was peaceful and that she is now pain-free and in the graces of the unconditionally eternal, everlasting love of Our Lord and Savior.

Born in the Fall of 1940, to two adoring parents, Ethel Hurst & Frederick Einer Jr., in beautiful, sunny Escondido, California. Sherry was a bundle of joy from the beginning.

In Sherry's younger years, she was essential to the success of the Central elementary school's bicycle club. Sherry was active in caretaking for her elders and her younger brother, Frederick "Chiefie" Einer IV (whom she admittedly treated like he was her baby).

From a very young age, Sherry has loved cooking delicious foods for those around her - family or not - this character trait never changed. As Sherry matured into her teenage years, her undying love, hunger, & thirst for music, laughter, & having a family of her own grew more potent & became part of her life's focus on finding & creating a joy-filled life.

Nearly since birth, Sherry has always been one to desire to be of service to those [she] knew, those [she] didn't know, and those [she] eventually got to know (typically after services had been rendered). This desire only grew exponentially throughout her lifetime, and it showed day-in-and-day-out. With extreme gratitude to Sherry, these character traits never faded and will continue to live on through the multiple generations [legacies] she's left behind.

In 1956, Sherry married L. Byron Culver Jr., and the two went on to have six children. They raised them in Rancho Santa Fe, California, while simultaneously becoming a self-made, self-taught, & highly sought-after realtor throughout Fairbanks Ranch & Rancho Santa Fe for over 50 years.

Like her father, Fred, Sherry wasn't a big drinker or a fan of the mess alcohol can make in ruining a perfect ambiance of music, laughter, & love. However, they both knew alcohol tends to bring people together; and she loved getting people together to share and make fond memories. Like her "Daddy," as she so sweetly referred to him, Sherry understood that "every day [above ground] is a holiday," and we should celebrate accordingly!

Sherry exemplified an unmatched awareness and care for others' needs and wants. Sherry is one of the best examples of "how to be your best and show up for others." Sherry loved solving other people's problems & the world's problems [too] - continually educating herself while worrying about those around her more. Sherry's skillset [in her words] of "giving great phone" will be unmatched, as will her uncanny ability to pay it forward without expectation of reciprocity.   All Sherry ever wanted and wished for was for everyone to be happy, healthy, & prosperous. Sherry's only expectation and non-negotiable demand & dying wishes were that we all continue educating ourselves, love and support one another, & not let the government ruin this country any more than they [already] have.

THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO KNOW SHERRY KNOW ALL THIS TO BE TRUE.

As much as Sherry loved seeing, talking about, and selling real estate, being a Mother, Aunt, Cousin, Friend, Grandmother, and Great-Grandmother were some of the most significant roles and parts of Sherry's life. With the many variations of motherly roles, albeit some benefits and others more headaches, regardless of "what" role she was playing, they all gave her much pride and joy.

Now that Sherry has passed into the arms of Our Lord, we should remind ourselves that while this is the end of Sherry's physical life on Earth, it is only the beginning of an eternal and beautiful journey for her. Sherry joins her beloved parents, her younger brother, Frederick "Chiefie" Einer IV, her ex-husband L. Byron Culver Jr., & her daughter, Melanie Culver, in Heaven. She is survived by many loving family members, including Suzanne Culver, L. Byron "Buzz" Culver III, Richard Culver, Elizabeth Culver-Lessard, Kathleen J. Tucker; eight grandchildren, Chris Culver, Kathleen A. Tucker, Kristin Tucker, Cheyenne Tucker, KC Montana Raymond, Chantal Lessard, Courtney Culver, Corie Culver-Lessard; and four [nearly five] great-grandchildren. Sherry also leaves behind countless cousins, dear friends, and beloved colleagues throughout Escondido, El Centro, Imperial Valley cousins &  around the globe.

Sherry was and forever will be an exemplary quintessence of what kindness is. Sherry is a one-of-a-kind. There is no one else like her. She deserves to be remembered and adored as a rare breed of human. Sherry is part of the humankind breed because of her over-the-top kindness and generosities.  Sherry's infinitely expansive heart, compassion, empathy, class, grace, supportive, inspiring, wise, and witty nature will all be missed dearly.

As Sherry would say, with Faith, "God Bless [You All] in Love & Light."

"As we grow older, real beauty travels from the face to the heart, appeal turns to charm, hurt to wisdom, and great moments to shared memories. The true beauty of life is not how happy you are now but how happy others are because of you." - Author Unknown

It's safe to say that Sherry led a beautiful life in all its bright and tightly woven threads of experiences of love, light, and God's abundance of abundant blessings within her and others' lives' tapestries.
