HARPER – Sharrin Gail Bremner, nee Haas, Sept. 16, 1939 – Sept. 14, 2018.
Predeceased by parents, Ewald and Evaline (Reid) Haas; and husband, Charles Edward (Ted) Harper.
Survived and missed by sister, Sandra (James) Bower; niece, Robin Charnetski and children, Kaitlyn and Kevin; nephew, Randon Bower; daughter, Shannon (Rob) Reiner, granddaughters, Bronwyn (formerly Cody) Reiner and MacKenzie Kroeger, and great-grandsons, Lucas Reiner and Nolan Kroeger. She will also be missed by her aunt, Alice Greenaway; cousin, Gail Young, and her children, Tamara and Byron; as well as sisters-in-law, Doreen Harper and Dawn Moncur; along with the many nieces and nephews from the Harper side of the family.
Mom (Sharrin) will always be remembered for her love of children, entertaining, and silliness; for turning each and every occasion into an excuse for a party (and a decorating opportunity), and for being the guardian of all things family – relationships, memories and memorabilia.
She began her teaching career in 1959 in Melville, SK and later was a devoted and much-loved kindergarten teacher at Beaver Lake and Prospect Lake schools in Saanich, B.C. She maintained lifelong relationships with many of her students and their families.
Her wishes were to not have a ceremony, so as a family we are respecting that request. If you would like to make a contribution in her memory, please consider the Palliative Care Unit, Saanich Peninsula Hospital, 2166 Mt. Newton X Rd., Saanichton, B.C., V8M 2B2
Heartfelt thanks to the many wonderful people there for their caring support of both patients and families during such difficult times.
