It is with deep sadness and
broken hearts that we announce the passing of Sharon Colbourne on
Wednesday, December 12, 2018.
Born November 10, 1946, she was the daughter of the late
James and Mildred (Champion) Hayes.
Sharon was predeceased by her husband and love of her life,
George, grandparents, William “Bob” and Ethel Champion (by
whom she was raised) and brother, Billy.
She is survived by her loving children, George (Dale) and
Trina (Shane) Connors. Sharon will be missed by the joys of her life,
her cherished grandchildren, Alyssa, Jenna, Tristan, Brayden and
Avery. Also surviving is her sister, Debbie (Terry) Butler and
sister-in-law, Judy Hayes. Sharon leaves behind many loved nieces,
nephews and friends, especially her life-long best friend, Marilyn
Ferguson.
Sharon was a faithful member of United Heritage Church,
Sydney and was employed as the manager of Equifax until 1986, when her
MS prevented her from working. She enjoyed immensely getting together
with special friends, Mary, Judy, Marilyn, Shirley, Mae and Thelma on
Wednesday afternoons for laughs, love and games. Sharon will be
forever remembered for her sweet smile and gentle, kind and loving
nature that inspired all who had the blessing of knowing
her.
The family would like to thank Dr. Paul Murphy, Palliative
Care (especially sweet Holly), the VON, Cape Breton Homemakers and the
Cape Breton Cancer Centre.
Funeral service will be held at United Heritage Church on
Monday, December 17 at 10 a.m., with Rev. Rosemary Godin officiating.
Interment will take place at later date.
Memorials may be made to the Children’s Wish
Foundation, United Heritage Church, Palliative Care or the Cape Breton
Cancer Centre at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital.
