Who was Shari Quai on RHOSLC?

Shari Quai on RHOSLC was Whitney Rose’s friend who was intubated before her death. She has been to the Bravo star’s major life events, and featured on the show in 2019, at Whitney and Justin’s vow renewal.

She was also at Whitney’s 1920s party in 2020, when the reality star said of her friend’s outfit: “Shari, you’ve outdone yourself, darling.” Whitney revealed she felt “helpless” while Shari fought colorectal cancer.

Shari added: “I was with her on Monday, and she couldn’t even get off the couch. I’m worried. I think we’re losing her. When I sat with her, that’s what we talked about – how she knows death is here.”

She added: “I spent most of the day in and out of tears. The 4th was not only Shari’s favorite holiday, it is also her birthday.” It had became a tradition to organize the “best firework show” for Shari’s birthday.

She also said that she had spent this year’s holiday with Shari’s husband and children. Shari is survived by her children, husband, four brothers Tyler, Chris, Jacob and Jordan, and her parents Michael and Patricia.
