We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our beautiful mother/grandma on Sunday, November 13, 2022. Sharon was born to Frank and Ilene Wright in New Westminster on August 12, 1937. Sharon had a lengthy career in Elementary Education and inspired many young minds. Sharon was lucky enough to have travelled the world two times over. First as a stewardess for Air Canada in the 1960’s and then again when she retired from teaching. Sharon never missed an opportunity to celebrate an occasion or milestone with her family. Holidays with “Grammie” were always well planned, and fun filled. We look forward to carrying on many of her traditions in the years to come. Sharon is survived by her daughters, Suzanne (Brad) Tiessen, Jennifer (Taylor) Parsons and grandchildren Alexis, Halle, Olivia, and Bennett. Special thanks to the staff of 7N at RIH for making moms last days comfortable and her special friend and neighbor Terri Baber for taking care of us. There will be no formal service but a Family Gathering will be held in the spring. If friends desire, a donation to the BC Lung Association in Sharons’ memory would be appreciated.

My thoughts are with you. Sharon was a member of our sorority chapter. She was such a kind and gentle person. I roomed with her on an Egypt vacation as well as a Singapore/Australian vacation. I have very fond memories of those trips. She will be sadly missed. May she Rest In Peace.
Although Steve predeceased Sharon I know that he had fond memories of her , in particular the memories they built with their daughters and grandchildren
I’m sorry to hear of your loss. Take care and hopefully I see you again soon.
My condolences to the family. I worked with Sharon when she was an LAT at Marion Shilling and I was a School Psychologist. She was hard-working and involved with her students and their teachers. She was always willing to attend the LAT functions to learn new techniques and gather more knowledge and skills. I missed seeing her once she moved from Dallas Drive and retired.
My deepest condolences Suzanne and Jennifer, will always remember your mom as a very positive person and her wonderful smile. She was a great neighbor all those years.
Dear Suzanne and Jennifer,
I just learned about your mother passing away. I offer you my deepest condolences. I have so many fond memories of her as a colleague at Marion Schilling and as a friend. The way she cared about students has always been a model for me. Also, we had so much fun in our travels.
My thoughts are with you both and your families.
My condolences to the family. At Marion Schilling school Sharon worked with my son and we found her so kind and helpful. She was so friendly to me; a parent, and such a snappy dresser!
