Born in the Niagara Falls region of Ontario, Canada, Sharon was one of nine siblings and carried the strength, resilience, and warmth of a large family throughout her life. She was known for her generous heart, vibrant personality, and remarkable ability to make everyone feel welcome. Sharon never met a stranger. Whether she was at a bowling alley, grocery store, restaurant, or simply standing in line, she could strike up a conversation and leave with a new friend. Her smile, quick wit, and genuine interest in others made people feel valued and appreciated.
Sharon believed life was meant to be lived fully. She embraced each day with enthusiasm, determination, and joy. Even at 82 years old, she remained active, independent, and full of energy, often running circles around people decades younger than her. Challenges never seemed to slow her down for long. Her strength was matched only by her sense of humor, and she faced life with a spirit that refused to quit. She once broke her arm and still found a way to continue doing what she loved most—bowling.
Anyone who knew Sharon knew of her love for bowling, playing cards, and bingo. Yet it was never really about the games. It was about the people. She treasured the friendships she built, the conversations she shared, and the laughter that filled every gathering. Sharon was often the life of the party, and wherever she went, fun was sure to follow. Family gatherings, afternoons with friends, and simple conversations were among her greatest treasures.
More than anything, Sharon loved her family. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and friend whose kindness, encouragement, and unconditional love touched countless lives. Her greatest gift was not something she owned, but the way she made people feel—welcomed, valued, and loved.
For years, Sharon faithfully played the lottery, always hoping her numbers would finally come in. While that jackpot never arrived here on earth, those who loved her find comfort in knowing that on June 18 she received a far greater reward. She was welcomed into Heaven, reunited with her beloved husband, Jerry, and embraced by the love of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Sharon is survived by her loving children, Michael, Tina, and Steven; her cherished grandchildren, Brian Jr., Sydney, Nicholas, and Ian; her sisters, Sheila and Gale; her son-in-law, Brian; her daughter-in-law, Lisa; and many extended family members, dear friends, bowling partners, and loved ones whose lives were forever enriched by knowing her.
Though our hearts are broken by her loss, we are forever grateful for the gift of her life. Her laughter will echo in our memories, her love will remain in our hearts, and her spirit will continue to live on through the family and friends she cherished so deeply.
Sharon's life was a testament to kindness, resilience, faith, and the power of human connection. She leaves behind a legacy not measured by possessions or accomplishments, but by the countless lives she touched, the friendships she built, and the love she shared so freely.
She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever carried in our hearts.
