Sharia Kaye Cleburn, born July 24, 1941, in Pea Ridge, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family Friday February 13, 2026. Sharia was the daughter of Freddie and Pauline Schimming and a proud graduate of Pea Ridge High School. At just 18 years old, she moved to Oklahoma City, beginning a new chapter of independence and opportunity. She lived at the Downtown YWCA and began working at First National Bank — in the very same building where her son would later work years afterward as part of an architectural firm, a connection that always felt special to their family. On a blind date, she met the love of her life, Bob Cleburn. They were married on June 18, 1961, beginning a lifelong partnership built on love, faith, and devotion. Sharia built a dedicated career in banking, eventually working for and retiring from Union Bank. She was known for her steady work ethic, kindness, and warm presence. She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She is survived by her husband Bob Cleburn; son, Chris Cleburn; daughter-in-law, Shannon Cleburn; and her beloved grandchildren, Kaiser Cleburn, Olivia Cleburn, Geoffrey Fuller, and Grayson Fuller, who brought her immense pride and joy. Sharia had a deep love for baseball and was a faithful fan of the St. Louis Cardinals. She also cheered passionately for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Whether watching a game or spending time with family, she found joy in life’s simple but meaningful moments. A devoted Christian, Sharia’s faith was the foundation of her life. She lived with quiet strength, grace, and unwavering love for her family. She will be remembered for her warmth, her loyalty, and the deep love she carried for those closest to her. Her legacy lives on in the family she cherished.
