Committal
Shari (Sharon Aldridge) Bennett, 73 of Morganton, left us December 3, 2022. Born in Sedro-Woolley, Washington, November 8, 1949. She was the daughter of Clay Warren Aldridge and Maude Johnson.
Shari is survived by her son, Glen Chase (Angie); daughter, Heather Bennett, stepson; Matthew Bennett, grandchildren; Zalie and Corbin Chase, Gauge Michael Bennett, Victoria McCall, Myranda and Madison Bennett, her three brothers, which made her the strong women that she became; Richard Aldridge (Faye), Ronald Rodney Aldridge (Diane) and Randy Lee Aldridge (Ava), brother and sister-in-law’s; John and Joan Bennett and Ronnie and Carolyn Norman, several nieces and nephews in Washington State and North Carolina.
Shari left her roots of Washington to Settle down with the love of her life, Michael Bennett for 35 years until his passing in 2019. She retired, after 30 years, as an ophthalmic technician from Morganton Eye Physicians.
Her two greatest blessings will always be her son and daughter. They were her greatest accomplishments. In the years to follow, her next blessings to arrive were her precious grandbabies, which she loved with all her heart. She gave each of them her individual love and made them all so special.
Shari’s love for horses started as a young girl with her faithful horse Chico. She learned to barrel race for many years. Later she joined her husband and daughter and became a member of APHH to pursue horse reining and cow cutting, which she did fearlessly. Her granddaughter has now taken those reins.
A celebration of life will be held on Monday, December 12, 2022 starting at 6 pm in the Colonial Chapel of Sossoman Funeral Home. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service from 5 – 6.
“We will miss her contagious laughter, that beautiful smile and her fearless, strong-willed personality that kept her family on the right path. Rest high on that mountain until we meet again.”
Sossoman Funeral Home and Crematory Center is assisting the family with the arrangements.

With my love and sympathy to the family for your loss. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. May God give you comfort, strength and peace.
I worked Shari many years ago at Morganton Savings & Loan. We became good friends. Whenever our paths crossed it was always great to see her. She was a beautiful person, inside and out.
Sheri was such a lovely lady & friend. I saw how she loved her family & she always did many things to share her love & generosity with everyone. She will certainly be missed, but remembered fondly with love.
This beautiful lady was my cousin. She was beautiful inside as well as on the outside. She will truly be missed by many.
Glen, I am so sorry for your loss. I am thinking of you, Angie and the kids I love you guys. To all of Shari's family my heart breaks for all of you, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
I didn't know Sheri for long but she was always kind to me. I shall never forget how she worked so hard on that horse that had an awful deep wound, working to wash and pack it daily and how she was able to get him back to normal. It was amazing and I just couldn't believe it. She was an awesome person and she will be missed. So glad she is with her husband now in paradise
