Sharon Anne Perkins passed away peacefully surrounded by her family after a long battle with cancer.  She will be lovingly remembered by her partner Andy Coates; children: Daniel (Helen) Perkins and Jaime (Chris) Kirchner; grandma to Aidan and Evan Kirchner; brother to Barry (Sue) Tate. She was predeceased by her husband Fred (2005) of 33 years, and parents Marguerite and Oswald Tate. 

Sharon was passionate about playing cards and games with friends and family.  She always had a good time sharing many laughs around the table and of course winning.  She was an avid player of bridge and achieved her Silver Life Masters. Sharon also enjoyed reading, skiing, snowshoeing, time at the cottage and traveling. She will be fondly remembered for her outgoing nature and will always have a special place in our hearts.

Sharon’s beautiful smile is so wonderfully depicted in the picture chosen above. We were privileged to have know her through pickleball games at the park, gatherings and conversations. She will be missed.

Sharon and I became friends through book club. She was a bright light with great insight. And she was very funny and could tell a great joke. I will miss her very much. My condolences to Andy and all of Sharon’s family.

It was 63 years ago that we met in 9K, Malvern Collegiate, Toronto. Along with Elliotte Spanton (Boyko) and Sharon Doherty (O'Neil) we became fast friends - a friendship that lasted all these years. Words can't express the sadness I feel.

I was 17 years old when Sharon came into our lives. Fred was home on leave and had met Sharon. Sharon always filled the room with her personality wherever she went. They married, bought the Townhouse and then along came Jaime & Daniel. While taking care of two newborns both of them returned to University and got their Masters Degrees. Fred figured they had maybe 3 or 4 spare hours a week. Raised two outstanding children, and advanced their careers. Unfortunately Fred passed away 19 years ago and sometime later along came Andy who also became her companion and soulmate. Andy you will always have our appreciation for the caring and support you have provided for Sharon.
I could go on and on about the many positive things about Sharon's life but would prefer just to say Sharon had a life well lived that was full of great experiences.

Sharon and I met in our very first years of teaching(1967). We were rookies and immediately established a friendship mainly through what we loosely called a "bridge" group...lots of laughs, many a good story, little playing of cards. Sharon very much took an interest in her family and friends' lives. She showed bravery and resilience in the challenges she met along the journey of life.

I feel lucky to have called Sharon my friend. I will treasure the good times we had together and the laughs we shared. I admired how she always saw the best in everyone and everything. In good times and bad times she maintained her sense of humour and zest for life. She will be missed.
Condolences to her family that she loved so much.
