Shara-Lea Grahn

April 22nd, 1967 - March 22nd, 2014

She was born in Vancouver, B.C. but grew up a farm girl in the Silver Valley district of northern Alberta. After marrying in 1987, she settled in to life on the farm with her husband, Bill, in the Camrose area, where she raised kids and sheep, baked fantastic cinnamon buns and homemade pizzas and attended countless soccer games and school functions.

In 2007, Shara and Bill decided to move to Lumby, B.C. to be nearer to the mountains, lakes and wineries where they loved to spend their time hiking, biking, playing tennis, skiing, curling and sampling Okanagan wines. She continued to attend countless soccer and basketball games, continued making those fantastic pizzas and even managed to find time to work as a lab assist at Vernon Jubilee Hospital.

Sadly, she was taken from us far too soon while enjoying a beautiful sunny day skiing down her favourite run, BX Express on Silver Star Mountain. Even in death, she was still giving. Through organ donation, she will carry on in others.

Shara is survived by her loving husband, Bill: sons: Ryan, John, and Mathew; daughter, Victoria;

parents, Bob and Carol Grams; sister, Lisa (Dennis Stredulinsky); brother, Kevin; as well as numerous other relatives, friends and co-workers.

The Celebration of Life for Shara will be held at Pleasant Valley Funeral Home on Saturday, March 29th, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. So raise a glass of your favourite wine to the memory of our beautiful girl. She will be forever in our hearts.
