Sharon lived most of her life in Fort Frances, Ontario where she chose a career of school bus driver after she raised her children. She moved to Medicine Hat in 2007 to be near her children and continued to drive school buses until she retired. She enjoyed quilting, baking, boat rides on Lake Despair, and music concerts. She loved flowers and always had pots full of them on her deck throughout the summer. She enjoyed getting together with family and friends for supper. Everyone jumped at the chance to go because she was well known for her delicious cooking as well as her heavenly pies and desserts. Sharon loved to play cards and board games, listen to gospel music and attend church when she was able. She will be deeply missed by all who have felt the love that came from mom’s amazing heart.
A Celebration of Life will be held in the Longfellow Hall south of Dunmore, Alberta on Saturday, September 9, 2023 at 1:00 p.m. A luncheon will take place following the service and the family invites everyone to stay and share a memory.
