Obituary of Sharon Anne Melnyk
Sharon Anne Melnyk, age 58, passed away peacefully on April 11, 2022 — A loving and beautiful person lost far too soon. Sharon was predeceased by her parents George (1998) and Dorothy (2012) Melnyk, and her partner Dennis (Zack) Schlechter (2008), as well as her fur babies Bailey, Cody and Angel. She will be sadly missed by her siblings: Georgina Carter, Mike (Heather) Melnyk, Marilyn (Tim) Klock; her nieces and nephews: Meagan Melnyk (Matt Betham), Nigel Carter, Timara Klock, Matthew Melnyk, Angela Carter; great nephews: Austin, Rhett, and Wyatt Betham; Zack’s siblings and family; long-time best friend and extended family member Sheila Mann and the entire Mann family; as well as numerous cousins and friends who were all family to Sharon. Sharon worked for the Provincial Government for 35 years. She took early retirement in 2016 and was enjoying her dream of retirement. After a few years, Sharon decided she was too young to fully retire and looked for part-time work. She accepted an offer for a full-time term position back with the Government which she thoroughly enjoyed, especially when Covid hit, and she was able to work from home with her furry feline companion Meeko. Sharon worked with her team of close colleagues, whom she considered friends. She had a love of all animals; her yard always had feeders for the squirrels and birds, and she also fed the jackrabbits which came to visit. Sharon loved spending time at the lake camping with Sheila and she spent countless hours with her siblings, nieces and nephews doing the things which mattered most to them. She loved spending time with her flowers and gardening in her yard. Sharon touched many lives with her generous, helping and loving attitude. She always tried to do whatever she thought would make others happy. Everyone was always treated like family, whether she knew you for a lifetime or a few hours. Sharon truly believed in organ donations and encouraged people to sign their donor cards. In lieu of flowers, please consider signing your organ donor card or donate to Kinsmen Telemiracle, Regina Humane Society or Regina Cat Rescue. Heartfelt thanks to the very caring, compassionate nurses, as well as Bonnie and Fr JB OKAI for their spiritual care at the Pasqua Hospital who helped Sharon to be as comfortable as possible in her final days. Funeral Mass will be held at Speers Funeral Chapel, 2136 College Avenue, Regina, SK on Monday, April 18, 2022 at 10:30 a.m. Masks are required. There will be an option to join virtually via Zoom. Following the mass, everyone is welcome to Speers Family Centre for refreshments and visiting. Sharon, you will be greatly missed.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Sharon
