Sharon Mae (Hardy) Walsh

It is with deep sadness that we, the family, announce the sudden passing of Sharon Mae (Hardy) Walsh, age 75, on Monday, April 28th, at Cape Breton Regional Hospital.

Born in North Sydney on March 6, 1950, Sharon was the 5th child of the late Wilson and Olive (Bond) Hardy. She was married to John Walsh for 57 years and they resided in North Sydney until her passing.

Sharon was employed at Nickerson Fish Plant for several years until leaving the work force, in order to stay at home and raise her young children. Sharon enjoyed listening to country music, camping in her trailer (when healthier), calling and spending time with family and friends.  She loved Christmas and all the festivities, decorating and preparations. She even watched Christmas movies all year round. Sharon always enjoyed a good laugh.

She will be greatly missed by her loving husband John; daughters Darlene (Doug) Rose of Frenchvale, NS, Christene Walsh of Campbell River, BC; son - Johnny (Terri) Walsh of North Sydney, NS; sisters -  Joyce Simms of Georges River, NS, Gladys (Maurice/Morris) Gracie of Edmonton, AB; brothers -  Frank Bond of Sydney Mines, NS, Sid (Ruth) Hardy of North Sydney; grandchildren - Kayla (Thomas James) Rose of Kelowna, BC, Tyler Rose, Gracie Walsh, Easten Walsh of North Sydney and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
