Sharon was a long-time friend of Bill W.

Sharon loved spending time with family and created many special family traditions. She enjoyed listening to Elvis and watching his movies. She delighted in travelling and of the places she visited, Hawaii was her favourite.

Sharon was a respected businesswoman and was active in the Calgary real estate industry for many years. One of her greatest joys was the relationships she built with colleagues and clients as a Broker/Owner at Century 21 The Professionals Ltd. These connections were deeply meaningful to her and brought her much fulfillment. Sadly, Sharon suffered a second set of brain aneurisms in 2004 which had a profound impact on her life and ended this happy chapter.

The last years of Sharon’s life were spent at the Bethany Harvest Hills care facility as she lived with Alzheimer’s disease. The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to everyone who cared for her during this time.
