September 16, 2025

Date of Service: September 24, 2025

SHARON DARLENE WOLLERSHEIM, of Milk River, AB, beloved wife of Paul Wollersheim, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family at the Chinook Regional Hospital on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, at the age of 77 years.

Besides her loving husband Paul, Sharon is survived by her children: son Chad (Tana) and his children, Sydney (Riley) and Ty; daughter Lisa (Bill) and her children, Braydn (Kaliah) and Carson; and son Jeremy (Alissa) and their children George (Sarah), Charlie (Delaney) and Anneleise, as well as her brothers-in-law David (Terry), Ron (Nancy) and Jim Griffin.

She was predeceased by her father Andrew, mother Mary, brother Calvin, mother and father-in-law Helen and Jake, and sister-in-law Joyce.

Sharon was born December 21, 1947 in Medicine Hat, AB. She was the eldest of two children born to Mary and Andy Stapleton. As a young girl, the family moved to Milk River, where she completed her schooling and met the love of her life, Paul Wollersheim. Upon graduation, Sharon attended the Lethbridge Community College, earning a diploma in Secretarial Training. Upon completion of the program, Sharon returned to Milk River and started work, but more importantly, started planning her wedding to Paul. They were married February 4, 1967, and they spent 50 years on the family homestead east of Coutts. There they raised three wonderful children and put many miles on their vehicles, following them around to various sporting events.

Sharon also spent countless hours preparing harvest meals, feeding exchange students, student teachers, family and friends. Her unforgettable laugh, her genuine warmth and caring demeanour were some of her most admirable characteristics.

Sharon was an avid reader and theatre enthusiast, both local and beyond, but her greatest source of joy came from her grandchildren. She devoted her later years to spending as much time as possible to each and every one of them. From trips on the train, sleep-overs at the farm and in town, Christmas concerts, hockey, soccer, volleyball and baseball games, and special birthday suppers, she was there.

A Prayer Service will be held at ST. PETER’S CATHOLIC CHURCH, 301 Main Street NW, Milk River, AB, on Tuesday, September 23, 2025 at 7:00 P.M. with Father Pawel Andrasz O.M.I. officiating.

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at ST. PETER’S CATHOLIC CHURCH on Wednesday, September 24, 2025 at 11:00 A.M. with Father Pawel Andrasz O.M.I. celebrating.

Sharon will be laid to rest during a private Family Graveside in the Milk River Cemetery.
