In Loving Memory ~
We are profoundly saddened to announce the passing of Sharon Betts on May 17, 2025. Sharon was predeceased by her husband and love of her life, Gerry and by the other loves of her life Tuesday, April, Ailie, Augie, and Juli. Sharon is survived by her loving friends and family.
Sharon was a wonderful and exceptional person with a passion for bringing enjoyment to others. She was the best hostess imaginable, always offering great company, abundant amounts of delicious food and drink, and she knew and served everyone's favourites. She was a true animal lover: her labs, the objects of her love and joy, were absolute royalty and nothing was too good for them. And she looked so forward to her Friday visits with her bestie, Thunder.
Sharon was a fully devoted and incurable Jays fan. She enthusiastically watched all their games, for better or for worse and kept tabs on each player.
Sharon was fiercely independent and did like to spend time by herself as well, often saying she was a hermit but if she had money, she would be a recluse. Sharon was a voracious reader, consuming entire book series at a time. She was also passionate about her house and garden, both of which were always immaculate and perfectly arranged.
While not born in Port Alice, it was Sharon's home for close to 50 years and it was the only place she wanted to be. We all loved Sharon and we will miss her kindness, her wit, her smile, her laughter, and her friendship dearly.
Sharon was not one for being in the limelight nor for seeking any sort of attention, quite the opposite in fact. Anyone wishing to celebrate Sharon may consider contributing to their favourite animal charity.
