Sharon Beverley Mary Greer

May 1st, 2021

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Sharon Beverley Mary Greer our beloved mother, grandmother, auntie, and friend on Saturday, May 1, 2021.

Sharon was born on May 13, 1944 in Ceylon, SK. Sharon is survived by her daughters Alana Shearer-Kleefeld (Darryl), Tara Brittin (Jeremy), and Rana Nixon (Doug); her grandchildren Trista (Katrina), Keenan, Olivia, and Charlie; many nieces and nephews for whom she was the favourite aunt; and friends far and wide too numerous to count.

Sharon was predeceased by her infant son Allen, her parents Ted and Irma Greer, and her brothers and sisters.

Sharon’s life was a continuous adventure. She filled every room with stories, laugher and fun. Constantly on the go, she never missed any occasion or event. She always had a little gift for you when she arrived. We knew that the best gift was just having her there.

In the last 15 years of her career, Sharon worked in the Children’s Program at Wascana Rehabilitation Centre, Regina, SK. She personally knew and loved each child. As such, Kinsmen Telemiracle was very close to her heart. In lieu of flowers, we kindly request a donation to Telemiracle in Sharon’s honor.

We extend our deepest gratitude to all of the physicians, nurses, and healthcare workers who provided Sharon with the most loving and compassionate care. Sharon prayed for you each night.

A Private Celebration of Sharon’s Life will be held on Saturday, May 8, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. in Blessed Sacrament Roman Catholic Church, Regina, SK. You can access the funeral service via livestream from the Blessed Sacrament website (blessedsacramentregina.ca). Sharon will be laid to rest in Ceylon Cemetery, Ceylon, SK. The blessing of Sharon’s grave will be held at a later time when it is safe for us to gather in person once again. We thank you for surrounding our family with your love and support throughout this journey.

You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online obituary at: www.MyAlternatives.ca

We just received the news of the passing of Sharon this past summer. We are both so very pleased that we got to know this amazing person that we affectionally called Mom!! Our paths crossed while we worked in the lodge business. Our lodge was in northern Manitoba and Sharon hailed from a fly in lodge in north Saskatchewan. For years we have been communicating through e mail and those interesting Xmas poems she would send every year to keep us updated on herself and her growing family. With many memories, we send our very best wishes to family and friends of Sharon's. We will meet again.....

Sharon was the face of Children's Program for her whole time there. She knew every child and every family members' name! She handled everything thrown at her with a smile on her face and appropriately themed attire for every occasion. After she retired I loved reading her Christmas poem recapping her year. She was one of kind.....the best kind! My sincere condolences to the family. She will always be a part of Children's Program in my memory.

So sorry to hear of Sharon's passing. We were friends working at Wascana Rehabilitation Centre & last time I was in Regina we met for a catch-up visit. I always enjoyed Sharon's bright attitude & kind ways. I will keep her in my prayers. Eva Webb

I will miss you dearly Sharon Your friend Marie

The opportunity to work with Sharon was my privilege over her years at WRC Children’s Program. I learned from her that a positive attitude & finding the humour in all situations contributed to the solution needed. The strength of her memory about the child & family, plus the warmth of her greeting in person or by phone brought pleasure to all involved. She will be missed by all. May positive memories surface often.

Sharon was the "big sister" that I never had! In knowing her for 55 years, I guess you could say we grew up together, . . . .getting married, having kids, always sharing the good times & the bad. No matter what the situation, she handled life with grace & dignity, & of course her wonderful sense of humor. She will be greatly missed!

To Sharon’s Family I met Sharon 3 years ago when I moved into the same apartment building. It didn’t take her long before she recruited me to help with a number of functions. We laughed, we ate, we cleaned. Sharon was the heartbeat of the building and she will be missed greatly. One hell-of-a-gal. My prayers are with Sharon and you at this time. God Bless you all.

My darling Shearer girls, I am so sorry you have lost your Mom. My memories of her are that I always had side splitting laughter at every visit, she was a bit wicked actually with her sense of humour. I remember amazing pork roast and creamed cabbage, and to this day I still wipe the top of my ketchup bottle like I saw her do after the meal was done - a habit after years of her camp life. Reading all the other condolences tells me I only knew a very small part of her life, but I am glad I had the bits I did. Sending love.

We are so, so sorry to lose our friend , Sharon. As our mutual friend, Diane MacDonald,said we can't imagine a world without Sharon in it. We send you our deepest sympathy. We will miss her so much. Love, Linda and Bob Guest

Sharon was such a wonderful person in so many ways! She had such a beautiful personality ! I would say an angel waiting to be promoted when needed ! We will miss you dearly and I am sure you will keep an eye on all of us !!

To all the family; So sorry for your loss. I worked at WRC and knew Sharon well. She was a beautiful person; always with a smile and mischievous laugh. Always looked forward to her “occasional “ socks and annual hand delivered Christmas Cards with some witty comments. Rest In Peace beautiful soul!!

I am so sorry to hear of Sharon’s passing. She was a walking angel among us and I would tell her that often. She was my Mom, Leota Ireland’s, neighbour and was always feeding her and popping in. She will be truly missed. On to organizing events in heaven now. May she be at peace.

So sorry to hear of your moms passing. Auntie Sharon was always a lady full of spirit and laughter. She had one of the biggest hearts! Always made our favourite dishes when we went there when we were little kids! Have many great memories of her.

My deepest condolences to all of the family. I worked with Sharon in Children's Program at WRC for many years. She was my "work" mom for sure. The twinkle in her eyes and smile on her face were always a welcome sight at our front desk. She was passionate about everything she did but especially about her love for her family. We came to know many of you through her stories and reports about you! I was lucky also to get to know Rana and Olivia through my church-I am sending big hugs out to you both. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Rest in peace, dear Sharon....we will never forget you.

My sincere condolences on the passing of Sharon. I worked with Sharon in the Children’s Program and she became a true friend to me as well as everyone around her. I loved her sense of humour and she always had wonderful stories to share. I will miss her annual Christmas card and accompanying poem of her yearly adventures. May you find comfort in your cherished memories of a fantastic lady.

Alana, my sincerest condolences to you and your family. Your mom would call me to babysit you and your sisters when we lived in Glen Cairn. Now you can call me anytime, and I will be there for you during this difficult time. Take one day at a time my friend.

Our hearts are sore for you Rana, Doug and Olivia. The entire family has to remember the best of times and the fun moments. God bless.

My heart is heavy and so very sad, knowing Sharon is no longer with us. “Sherlock”, as she was affectionately known to me during our 15 years together in the Children Program, could solve any mystery or challenge presented to her! Her memory astounded me, and she put that skill to incredible use, hunting down some of our children and families no one else could reach, and remembering every little detail from the hundreds of phone calls and emails she could be managing all at once. A very inspiring multi tasker. Sharon also knew every child by name and they weren’t allowed to come to therapy until they had finished their Sharon visit at the front desk :-) She radiated such deep love to the children we saw and to all of her colleagues in our work family. Sharon recently reached out to me when my mom died in December, and her compassion and support was so deeply meaningful. Always one to put others first and be so heart felt. She will be greatly missed. Rest in peace Sherlock ❤️❤️❤️

Sending you all my deepest sympathy. I enjoyed getting to know Sharon through our work at Children’s Program. She did her job so well, and she showed how big her heart was by how much she cared about all the children and their families. Lunches together were filled with stories of you children and grandchildren- she was so proud of all of you. And then there were the stories of her trips and her Christmas poem. She had amazing energy and joy for life even when things were difficult. She will be missed.

I was so sorry to hear about Sharon's passing. I worked with Sharon for many years at the Children's Program. She was a such a positive person who took a genuine interest in everyone she met. Sharon was a kind soul with a optimistic energy that made each day brighter. She loved her children, grandchildren and nieces and nephews and spoke of them often. After Sharon retired, I enjoyed getting her annual Christmas letter and learning about her latest adventures. I hope your many happy memories help in this sad and difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Sharon. I worked with Sharon for the 15 years she was in the Children's Program and she was without a doubt the bubbly personality and face of our program. She was a multi-tasking machine, firing on all cylinders and did the work of three people, never complaining once. She will always be remembered as someone with a welcoming smile, willing to dress up for any and all events and occasions (I will never forget her Halloween orange shoes, stripped socks and witch hat). She knew everyone's name and always wanted to try and set up any single staff with other single staff in the building. Once you got married you can be sure that Sharon would want to know when babies were coming. Sharon was an absolutely wonderful person that I had the privilege to know. Rest in peace beautiful :)

I was so saddened to hear of Sharon's passing. We worked together in the Children's Program. A wonderful lady with a great sense of humor and holiday themed socks! I'll miss seeing her cheering me on at my ball games at Central Park. May she rest in peace.

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom, Alana. I enjoyed meeting her and seeing you two together when she visited the office. Take good care in this difficult time.

So sorry for your loss, Alana and family. Take care.

Alana and family I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was a beautiful soul and this will continue in each of you.
