Obituary of Dawn Sharon Johnston Gabryelczyk
Dawn Sharon Johnston Gabryelczyk, 78, passed away peacefully in her sleep on April 4, 2025. Born on November 30, 1946, Sharon led a colourful life from beginning to end and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
Sharon wore many hats over her long career in justice and advocacy. She used her inherent strength and knowledge of traditional teachings and language to benefit indigenous peoples all over the province of Ontario. Her life experience made her uniquely qualified to contribute to programs aimed at the advancement of her community.
At six-feet-tall in her early teens, Sharon’s imposing physical presence was only shadowed by her even bigger personality. She had an infectious spirit that inspired even the loneliest wallflowers to get up and dance. She was a captivating storyteller to the end, always serving up an engaging mix of traditional stories and tall tales she collected along the way.
Sharon was no stranger to hardship and struggle, and as a result she became a safe haven for lost souls, be it man or animal. She always had a seat at her table and a home-cooked meal for those who needed it.
After a life full of adventure, Sharon settled back on Cape Croker. She would regularly hold court on her patio, where friends would drop by for the bottomless coffee and the latest news.
Sharon was a beloved daughter, mother, grandmother, sister, auntie, and friend. She is predeceased by her parents Raymond Douglas Nadjiwon and Irene Glendora Johnston, her husband Bernard Jacobs and her daughter Tracy Leigh Johnston and survived by her daughter Tami, her sons Michael, Jason, and Steven, her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and countless friends who became family.
A small gathering will be held at Maadookii Senior Center on Sunday April 13, 2025 from 1PM to 5PM. A larger Celebration of Life will be held in the summer with more details to come.
