Sharon Lee Tiessen (Connolly)
December 9, 1952 – March 2, 2025
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Sharon Tiessen, daughter of the late Norm and Joyce Connolly. Beloved and truelove wife of Dave Tiessen of fifty-three years. Loving Mother to Chris (Julia), Trevor (Cheryl) and Kelly (Darren). Much loved sister to Gary (Leslie). Cherished Grandma to Logan, Zach, Adelyn, Cameron, Reagan, and Amelia. Treasured Aunt and Great Aunt to Oliver (Erin) (Arthur), Lara (Geoff) (Claire).
Sharon was born on December 9th, 1952, in St. Catharines, Ontario and was raised near the old town of Niagara-on-the-lake. In 1971 she married her high school sweetheart Dave Tiessen and raised a family in the farming community just outside of Virgil. Sharon was a much beloved school bus driver of fifteen years with a reliable smile to all the adoring children she picked up every day. Sharon moved on and worked at Penner’s Home Hardware where she oversaw the paint department and was fondly known as simply “the paint lady.”
After Sharon’s retirement, she enjoyed thrifting in St. Jacob’s, antique stores searching for the perfect piece for her next project. Sharon would delight in spending time with her close friends while enjoying a good glass of white wine, coffee, laughter, or tears. She was everywhere in our community, the local florist, restaurant, market, hockey arena always with kindness to everyone she met but her true love was in her home with her family and her grandchildren. Sharon’s pride, joy and love were her six precious grandchildren. She put her endless love into every detail of every plant, every cookie she baked, every gift she wrapped, every occasion she planned, every photo she put up, every hug she gave – her love was enduring.
Sharon will be forever dearly loved, adored, and missed. Our world and community is a better place because of her kindness, empathy, and compassion. May she rest in peace.
A visitation will be held at MORGAN FUNERAL HOME, 415 Regent St., Niagara-on-the-lake, Ontario on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. In honor of her strength as a brave breast cancer survivor, we kindly request that, in lieu of flowers, donations made to Breast Cancer Canada.
