Born in Windsor, she was a daughter of the late Albro and Minnie Carmenia (Cleveland) Singer. Sharon realized that success in life is not about accumulations but about living and giving. Sharon’s laughter and humor was something that has brought joy to many! She was a loving proud mother to Kim and Gary. She had a caring personality that instilled a courage that took her to take on training as a professional caregiver in her forties. Sharon was committed to realizing her goal to live her life with confidence and purpose, being all she was meant to be. Sharon served her clients diligently with loving compassion as a personal care worker for 17 years at the Ivy Meadows, Scotia Nursing Home in Beaverbank. Although looking after clients was her vocation, Sharon was a loving person and she naturally cared for everyone in her life, all her friends and family. She enjoyed Sunday night bingo, always grateful for her luck! An amazing cook, generously she loved to share her creative treats with us all. Sharon met life’s challenges head on and had a resilience that built strength to deal with adversity. Faith and hope gave Sharon a will to endure through quite a journey with her family these past three years!
