SHARPE; Marion Frances. Two days before her 98th birthday, and after sharing her last days with her loving family, Marion's full and active life came to its natural and peaceful end on January 15, 2014. She will be very sadly missed by her large loving family and friends. Marion is predeceased by her husband Paul (May 1, 1984); brothers Leslie Clark of Mission, John Clark of Saanich; and sister Edith Crombie of Abbotsford. Marion is survived by her sons Robert (Kerry) Sharpe, Steve (Laura) Sharpe, and Ken (Lori) Sharpe; daughters Adrienne (Dan) Flurry, Norman, OK, Sandra Sharpe (Howes), PEI, and Randi Sharpe; 15 grandchildren; and 16 great grandchildren spread across Canada, the USA and as far away as Doha, Qatar; brother Ray Clark of White Rock; as well as cousins, and many nieces and nephews and friends. Many will remember Marion from her years as the community librarian at the old libraries on 2nd Ave. After her retirement she stayed active in the community with her involvement in the Historical Society, Lifetime Learning, friends of the library, Hospice Society, W.I. , Pathfinders, and Hospital Auxiliary. The family would like to express their thanks to Dr. Nemanishen and the caregivers at Mission hospital. A very special thanks and gratitude to the staff at the Dr. Stewart Pavillion for their exemplary care and compassion. Also a very special thanks to Laura Sharpe, daughter-in-law, nurse, confidant, and friend to Marion who made her life so much more comfortable over the last few years.
