Corinne "Sue" Shirley Sharp

Corinne Shirley Sharp nee Kovach (Sue as most people knew her) passed away peacefully in the morning of March 21, 2023 at the age of 92 of Dementia. She will be sadly missed by her children: Garry Younge, Karen O’Neill, grandchildren Brandee Younge, Clayton Younge (Kelsey) and Cody Younge, great granddaughter Mackenzie Beatie and great great Grandson Sage Younge, sister June Henning, nieces Benda Henning and Rhonda Kraft. She was predeceased by her son Brian Younge and x-husband Earl Younge.

She grew up in Wakaw, a small town in Saskatchewan. She moved to Prince Albert, SK in her late teens where she later met her first husband Earl, the father of her 3 children. They were married in July of 1950 and moved to Vancouver Island later that year in October. Their oldest son Brian was born in Duncan in 1952. The family later moved to Maple Ridge where both Garry and Karen joined the family in 1955 and 1958. Shortly after Karen’s arrival the family moved to Delta.

In 1973 her and Earl went their separate ways and that is when she returned to the work force as a property manager. Later in life she explored the world going to England, Prague, Austria, Munich, Amsterdam, Paris, Budapest, and Vienna.

She enjoyed sewing and knitting, making several outfits for herself and others. She was long-standing member of the Eastern Stars and Trinity Lutheran Church in Delta.

When I am gone, release me, and let me go,

I have so many things to see and do,

You must not tie yourself to me in tears,

Be happy that we had so many years.

I gave to you my love, you can only guess,

How much you gave to me in happiness,

I thank you for the love you each have shown,

Now it is time i travelled on alone.

So grieve awhile for me if grieve you must,

Then let your grief be comforted by trust,

It’s only for a while that we must part,

So bless the memories within your heart.

I will not be far away, for life goes on,

So if you need me, call and i will come,

Though you cannot see or touch me, I will be near;

And if you listen with your heart,

You will hear all my love around you, soft and clear.

And then when you must come this way alone,

I will greet you with a smile and say

“"WELCOME HOME"
