Age 68. It is with deep sadness that we are announcing the passing of Sharon, beloved partner, sister, stepmother and aunt. She passed away peacefully in Dartmouth General Hospital on September 8, 2021. She was a daughter of the late Everett and Jean (Faulkner) McRae.
She is survived by her partner, Lisa Rodman; stepchildren, Cameron Whiteway, Nikki (Phil) Pedersen, and Alex Rodman; brother, Brian (Anne); sisters, Susan Peacock, Brenda MacRae, Heather (Duncan) Richards, Tracy (Rob) Rhyno; sister-in-law, Liz Pace; and nephews, Brad McRae, Ryan (Ellen) Richards, Michael McRae, Gauge Rhyno; and nieces, Amanda (Craig) Arsenault, Laura-Lee (Mitchell) Porter, Teri-Lynn (Matthew) Mitchell, and Téa Rhyno.

After Sharon graduated from Eastern Shore District High School she went on to obtain her teaching degree from Acadia and St. Mary’s University. Sharon was an extremely dedicated teacher for over 40 years at Robert Jamieson and Gaetz Brook Junior High. She was an avid sports enthusiast and a life member at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 161 in Gaetz Brook where she was always the first to volunteer and support veterans and her community. She was passionate about her family and took pride in supporting all of her nieces, nephews, Faulkner and McRae families.
Arrangements have been made for a Celebration of Life to be held in the Gaetz Brook Legion on Wednesday September 15th at 1 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Poppy Fund at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 161.
