Power, in Barrington, Nova Scotia. They married in 1983, and together
raised two amazing boys, Matthew, and Ronnie. She retired with her
husband to Tignish, Prince Edward Island. Sharon and Randy were
blessed with two grandchildren, Matheson, and Ellie (Matthew), who
were the shining light of her life over the past several
years.
