August 15, 1946 – June 9, 2013
Sharon died peacefully at home in the early morning hours of June 9, 2013, after a determined battle with cancer.

Sharon was born in Kinistino, Saskatchewan on August 15, 1946, the middle child and only daughter of Jack and Ruby McCloy of Weldon, Saskatchewan. She had a passion for helping others and, after graduating from the University of Saskatchewan in 1967, she began what would be the first of many jobs doing so as a Social Worker in Regina, Saskatchewan.

In 1968 she married Tom Graham of Pennant, Saskatchewan and over the years his profession as a petroleum engineer brought them to Shaunavon and Carlyle, Saskatchewan, Calgary, Alberta and Jakarta, Indonesia. These chapters of her life were filled with family life, making and enjoying life-long friends and advocating for others in various organizations, including Calgary Birth Control, AIDS Calgary and Jakarta’s Newcomer Resource Centre. In 2004, Sharon and Tom retired to Nanoose Bay, BC, where her enjoyment of family, ease at making friends, and passion for helping others continued into her final days.

Predeceased by her parents, older brother Terry and son Jason, Sharon is survived by her devoted husband of 45 years, their daughter Jennifer, her favorite son-in-law Stacy and her beloved grandbabes Hannah and Graydon. She will also be greatly missed but lovingly remembered by her surviving brother Ken (Bonnie), numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews and the many friends she made throughout the various chapters of her life.

In lieu of flowers, please consider creating a new memory with your loved ones: life is measured not in years but in memories.
