Obituary for Karen Eunice Sharp
SHARP, Karen Eunice
It is with great sadness that the family of Karen Eunice Sharp announces her sudden passing on Saturday, April 4, 2020 at the age of 74 years. Karen was born in Woking, Surrey, England on May 23, 1945 during WWII. Shortly after, her father came home to Canada and Karen and her mom went to live with her grandparents. On Aug 7, 1946 Karen and her mom came over to Canada on the Queen Mary and reunited with her dad where they settled in on a farm in Dahlton. Karen was the eldest of 5 brothers and 2 sisters. Also Karen had a half brother and sister. She learned the importance of a loving family and strong work ethics at a young age. After high school in Naicam Karen attended Saskatoon Business College and shortly after that she worked at CNIB in Saskatoon and from there she moved to Tisdale to work at the Bank of Nova Scotia. She married Edwin Sharp in 1966 and started farming at Archerwill. They had 4 children.
She enjoyed reading, sewing, gardening, baking and usually had a rhubarb or fruit cocktail cake on hand for company. She especially enjoyed long phone calls with her family and friends .Where ever she went she enjoyed watching and visiting with people at dance, soccer, ball, hockey, & football games and even the grocery store. She always loved hugging and snuggling all her grandchildren. Nothing brought her more joy than being with family, especially her grandchildren. Her love for animals has been passed down to her children & grandchildren. Karen will be truly missed for her big heart, her listening ear and her kind soul.
Karen will be dearly missed by her children Myrna (Dominic) their children Ian & Sean, Ron (Christie) their children Katelyn, Jesse, Erik & Paige and James (Pamela) their children Dylan, Aiden & Sarah; along with her siblings, nieces, nephews, numerous relatives & friends.
Karen was predeceased by her husband Edwin, son Richard and parents Leroy & Eunice.
Due to the Covid 19 pandemic and with consideration of the current restrictions on gatherings there will be no public funeral. The family will be holding a memorial service at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
