MALEC
August 23, 1947 – August 8, 2021
SHARON LEIGH MALEC (née Snow), beloved wife of Roy Malec of 49 years, passed away with her family by her side, at the Foothills Health Centre, on Sunday, August 8, 2021, at the age of 73 years.
Besides her husband Roy, Sharon is survived by their daughters: Melissa (Alan) De Leon of Sherwood Park and Erin Malec of Sherwood Park. Sharon also leaves behind her grandchildren, Matteo and Danica De Leon; and her brother Brad’s children, Karlie and Adam.
She was predeceased by her parents, Norma and Calvin Snow, her brothers: Brad, Scott and Robin and grandson Noah De Leon.
Sharon was born in Vulcan, Alberta, lived in Medicine Hat and Calgary, and settled in Fort Macleod, where through teaching, she met and married the love of her life Roy. Shortly after having their daughters, they moved to Claresholm. At her first retirement in 1997, Sharon and Roy relocated to Lethbridge. Retirement was short lived as she was asked to teach music a few hours a week. This evolved to teaching full time music and transitioning to Foods and Religious Education at the junior and senior high level.
Sharon loved music, church, quilting, Catholic Women’s League and Girl Guides. She was active with the music ministry at church for decades and highly involved with the University of Lethbridge Senate. Sharon leaves behind a great legacy of enriching the lives of others.
Her grandchildren Matteo and Danica meant the world to her.
Funeral Parastas (Prayers) will be held at SS. PETER AND PAUL CATHOLIC CHURCH, 643 – 12B Street North, Lethbridge, AB., on Friday, August 13, 2021 at 5:00 P.M. with Father Gary Sedgwick officiating. The family will be holding a private Celebration of Life at a later date.
In lieu of flowers memorial tributes may be made in Sharon’s name to the Alberta Children’s Hospital (www.childrenshospital.ab.ca) or STARS Air Ambulance (www.stars.ca).

Melissa, Erin and Family. I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. I remember chatting with her when the two of you worked at GAP. I always enjoyed our conversations and she was always smiling. I also lost my mom this year, there is nothing that compares to the loss of your mother. My heart is with you and I’m sending lots of love.
