Biography: Shari Hill Dalrymple, of Little Rock and Leslie, Arkansas died February 25, 2007 following a long battle with cancer. Born in Jonesboro, Arkansas, she grew up in Pine Bluff and Little Rock. She was the daughter of the late Richard P. Hill and Calita Dixon Hill Langhorne of Hot Springs. A member of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, Shari was a Little Rock Central High School graduate and received her BA degree from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville where she was a member of Chi Omega Fraternity. In March 1958, she married Garrett E. Colquette, son of Henry and Ione Colquette of Little Rock. During a long and happy marriage three children were born and raised in Booneville, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kansas, then the couple retired to the Leslie, Arkansas area. Widowed in 1993, Shari continued to take an active part in her isolated neighborhood. She trained to be a volunteer fire-fighter and EMT for the Chimes Volunteer Fire Department and also served on the board as Secretary- Treasurer. She used to say, that she was the only EMT who didn’t suffer from motion sickness on ambulance runs over the winding roads to Clinton or Russellville hospitals. Living on a ridge, two miles up a logging road, Shari made travel plans when she began talking to herself. She loved England, exploring extensively on two separate trips. She took a freighter trip through the Caribbean, enjoying some unscheduled and surprising stops, including her favorite, Cartegena, Columbia. Elderhostel programs provided the opportunity to visit Idaho to dig Opals, raft the Snake River and learn all about potatoes. She studied Marine Life at the Elderhostel Program in Galveston, TX and also journeyed to Huntsville, Alabama for a NASA program on the space station. She attended Arrowmont in Tennessee on two occasions to learn silk painting and hone her pottery making skills. In 2000, she married Wade Alwyn Dalrymple of Little Rock, her first boyfriend years ago. He introduced her to Alaska, his favorite fishing and hunting desitination, and they enjoyed traveling or spending long weekends at their mountain home in Leslie. Living in Little Rock, once again, Shari was able to take art classes at the Arts Center, trying her hand at drawing and oil painting and finding both equally as much fun as throwing pots on the wheel. Shari is survived by her husband and soulmate, Wade Alwyn Dalrymple, her mother, Calita Langhorne of Hot Springs and her sister, Linda Hill Smith of Dover. She is also survived by her son, Paige R. Colquette and his wife Millie of Milton, Kansas, two daughters, Brooke Davies of Vilonia and Stacy Zimmerman, M.D. of Clinton. Shari also has six grandchildren and her husband’s loving children, Robin Dalrymple and Todd Dalrymple, surviving her. A memorial service will be held at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, February 28 at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral with The Very Reverend Henry Hudson officiating. Burial will be private.
