Washington-Staymate, Shar’Vron Darrese “Shay”

Age 28 of Apple Valley, MN

Passed away on February 27, 2018. Survived by parents, Darryl Eugene Washington & Sherese Raychell Washington-Roble; grandmother, Sharon Regina Campbell-Marshall; great-grandmother, Bobbie Jean Campbell; also many other loving family & friends. Shar’Vron (Shay’s) life philosophy was not going to the bar to have fun (not knocking those that do) but for Shay playing laser tag, hiking, festivals, road trips, museums, star gazing, go kart, tattoo shops, thrift stores, camping, watching the sun rise…..this was fun for Shay. Shay once posted on F/B a quote that describe her as a young vibrate woman, “A woman who speaks with her own voice, walked her own path fiercely, talked with grace and dignity, and she most defiantly dance to the rhythm of her own drum”. Shay loved God first and then her family and friends with love and respect. This was Shay!

A Celebration of Shar’Vron’s life will be held at 11 AM Wednesday, March 14th, at Roberts Funeral Home, 8108 Barbara Ave., Inver Grove Heights, MN.
