Although I have seen Sharon rarely in the last number of years. I think of her every Saturday evening when I turn on “Heartbeat” a show she told me about at a course years ago. I know this will be a sad time for you all, and hope that the happy memories and love you share help you . I wish you all the best.

Mark Price Ken and family, I am saddened to read about Sharon’s passing. I wish you God’s comfort at this time as you navigate things without Sharon.
My condolences go out to the Schaalje family. I am very sorry for your loss of such a lovely lady. Way back in 2015 Sharon was my boss when we both worked for Elections BC. I was employed for election day as a spare. It was very nice being trained by her and others. Sharon will be greatly missed.
