QUIRK, Sharon Ruth (nee Clark)

It is with great sorrow we announce the passing of Sharon Ruth Quirk after a brief battle with cancer. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She is lovingly remembered by her husband of 40 years (Greg);
"We reached for the stars together and achieved our goals as one."
Sons Gregory Joseph and David Jeffery;
"Your love meant the world to me and made every day Mother's Day."
She is also remembered by grandchildren Mathew, Megan and Mariah.
"You brought joy into my life."
She is also remembered by sisters Joan, Doris, Kristine (Ralph), brother David (Linda), niece Bev (Paul, Shyla, Alex), and other extended family members.
"Family is that special foundation."
She was predeceased by her parents Lelland and Ina Clark, sisters Pansy and Patsy and brother Aubrey.
Sharon was born in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, later moving to Coldstream. Upon completion of high school, she entered the Victoria General School of Radiography (Halifax) graduating in 1967. She was a dedicated X-ray technologist who loved her profession. She enjoyed all of the places it took her to work, including Truro, NS; London, England; Yellowknife, NWT; and Leduc, AB.
"If you love your work, it is never a job."
Sharon's greatest loves were family, travelling with Greg and being close to her sons. Her interests included reading, needlework and being surrounded by friends. Her good friend Carolyn offered many hours of comfort, treats and conversation. She also enjoyed the companionship of a special group of ladies who were her Circle of Friends. A special bond was shared with Michelle.
"Friends… they are the best of times!"
Thank you to all of the compassionate workers at the Leduc Community Hospital, Home Care and the Cross Cancer Institute.
Respecting Sharon's wishes, no funeral or public memorial will be held. Cremation has taken place.
