HANSEN, Sharon

2021

It is with profound sadness the family of Sharon Hansen announce her passing on July 15, 2021 after a very bravely fought battle with cancer.

 Sharon will be lovingly remembered by her mother Irja Hansen, her sister Karen and favourite brother-in-law Larry Larocque of Kirkland Lake, her sister Judy Hansen of Armstrong B.C. as well as her nephews Joshua (Laura) Larocque,  Clinton (Stephanie) Larocque and their boys,  Zachary (Victoria) Smith and her favourite niece Molly (Trevor) Smith and many cousins both near and far.

Sharon was predeceased by her father Harry Hansen in 2015.  

 Sharon started her almost 30-year career with the OPP as a dispatcher in Marathon and Schreiber Ontario.  As technology advanced, she moved on to do all manners of clerical work at both the Schreiber and Nipigon OPP offices while living in Schreiber.  After retiring,  Sharon moved back to her home town of Kirkland Lake with her 2 adorable cats Sassy and Finn.  She enjoyed spending time at the cottage at Butler Lake, a place that brought back wonderful memories of precious time spent with family and friends, fishing, cruising the lake, and manning the "rescue boat" while the rest of the gang swam across the lake.  Sharon was not a swimmer!

 A private celebration of life will be held at a later date.  In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Sharon's name to Timiskaming Palliative Care (145 Government Road East, Kirkland Lake, ON P2N 3P4).  

 Many thanks to the Family Health Team, NE LHIN, The VON,  Betty Smallwood and the wonderful Doctors, Nurses and support staff at Kirkland and District Hospital. 

Sharon had such a wonderful support system in her friends both near and far, including the KL Bevy of Beauties, her ever so supportive neighbours with special thanks to Joe and Tanja Wojtus.

Oh Sharon! You certainly could have stayed a while longer. I know you wanted to. Seems God had other plans for you. You showed such courage and acceptance for your fate. From the very beginning of your journey less than a year ago, you took things in stride. You were amazing. I know you are enjoying life on the other side exploring your surroundings with those that passed before you and waiting for the rest of us to join the party. Know you are already missed.

Heart wrenching. I am saddened to learn Sharon has passed.

I did have some brief conversations with her over the last 2 years. Both refreshing and saddening. How hollow I felt listening to her battle.

I will remember her as one of the Hansen girls, I was so fortunate to grow up with.

Irja. Hugs and tears is what I have. I am so sorry.

Brave lady Sharon. Fly with your dad.

Love you all.

The Hansen Family

On behalf of the KL Bevy of Beauties, we all loved Sharon's spirit, joy of life, sense of humour and intelligence. We were blessed to speak to her online. We shared stories and laughs with Sharon through the magic of technology. We also got together at the last reunion due to Sharon pushing us to do it and we thank her for that.

And now Sharon, we already feel a hole in our hearts and our lives but we are better for having known you.

See you on the other side some day. XOXOXO
