Loving and devoted Gramma to Taylor, Kyle, Molly, Quinn, Aven, Emma, Noah and Arlo. Loved by many cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. A best friend to many, Sharon never forgot a special occasion or a chance to bring joy to others. She will be remembered for her selfless acts and her fierce loyalty and love to her family. Born June 8, 1950, in Hamilton to Jack and Florence (Logan) McHarg. Sharon devoted her professional career to the care of others. Graduating from the Hamilton General Hospital School of Nursing in 1971, she devoted the next 10 years to the Burn Unit (Ward 25) at the old Hamilton General Site.

After leaving the unit she spent 2 years working for the very busy family practice of Doctors Day, Hind, Ferris and De Rubeis before moving to Brantford where she spent the next 39 years helping Steve manage his practice. She was a passionate volunteer at Church and with her kids' extracurricular activities. Sharon loved a good farmers market, lunch with friends and of course her beloved Toronto Blue Jays.

In life we are very fortunate when we meet a special person who becomes a forever friend. Sharon was kind and loving to all those who knew her. She had a great sense of humour and never forgot a special occasion. Always there for you. I will truly miss her as she was a dear friend who loved to day trek and stop at all sorts of unique little places to shop, sightsee and have lunch. She was the navigator. I was the driver. She loved going to garden centres choosing various plants for her lovely gardens. She loved chatting about the Blue Jays. Most of all she loved to talk about her kids and grandchildren. She adored her family and always looked forward to family get togethers. Especially when she hosted these gatherings at her home. Sharon will always have a special place in my heart. I miss our chats and day trekking already. But I have a ton of fabulous memories.
