Shary attended Sidney Senior High School, serving as the A.S.B. representative for the Distributive Education Club, and graduated in 1965 a Jaycee Scholar. She began her service in the Air Force the following year. There she earned the title "Might Mouse", a nickname used fondly by her loved ones for the rest of her days.

She raised her daughters in Sidney, MT, where she appreciated the simple, rural life the area affords.

Shary enjoyed many creative hobbies, including sewing, wood carving, photography and gardening.  She would master a craft and then move on to the next, as her joy was found in the challenge.
