Sharon Whitby Death: It is with an unbearably heavy heart that I share the news of my beloved sister, Sharon Whitby’s passing. Yesterday, we had to say goodbye to someone who meant the world to us, someone who brought so much light, love, and laughter into our lives. Sharon passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family and closest friends, with love and laughter embracing her as she joined our Mum and Dad in eternal rest. Though the words come with a deep sense of loss, grief, and shock, it is important to take a moment to honor Sharon’s life and reflect on the incredible person she was.
Sharon was more than just my sister—she was a friend, a confidant, a source of strength, and a beacon of positivity for everyone who knew her. The bond we shared, as siblings, was one of the strongest and most precious relationships in my life. The memories we made together, the moments we laughed until we couldn’t breathe, the conversations that carried us through difficult times, and the ways we simply understood each other without words—these are the pieces of Sharon I will carry with me forever. But no amount of words can fully encompass the depth of her spirit, her kindness, or the warmth she brought to those lucky enough to call her their family.
Sharon’s life was one that touched so many, and her absence leaves a void that is impossible to fill. While words may never be enough to truly capture the essence of who she was, we can honor her memory by holding onto the love she gave and the joy she shared. Sharon had a heart that was both vast and open, and she shared that heart with anyone who needed it. She was the kind of person who always made you feel seen, heard, and valued, whether you were a lifelong friend or a stranger she’d just met. Her genuine nature and her kindness knew no bounds. She had the unique ability to make everyone around her feel like they mattered, and that’s something that made her such a rare and extraordinary soul.

One of the things I will always remember about Sharon was her incredible sense of humor. She had a way of finding laughter even in the toughest of times, and her infectious smile could brighten the darkest room. Her laughter was a constant source of joy for our family and friends, and it was one of the things that made being with her so special. No matter what was happening in life, Sharon had the ability to bring lightness into the situation. She was a source of laughter, a light that always shone brightly, and her ability to make us all laugh will forever be a part of her legacy.
Sharon was also fiercely loyal and loving. She was someone who would drop everything to support the people she loved, whether it was offering a listening ear, lending a helping hand, or simply being there in silence. She had an innate ability to make others feel safe and loved, and there was never any doubt in her mind that her family came first. She adored our parents, and now, as she has joined them, I can take solace in the fact that they are all together again, watching over us. In the time we had together, Sharon showed me the true meaning of family and the strength that comes from unconditional love.
Though the grief of losing Sharon feels crippling right now, I know that she would want us to remember the joy she brought into our lives, the ways she lifted us up, and the love she shared with all of us. This loss is so hard to bear, and the pain of not having her here with us is overwhelming, but in our grief, we must also celebrate the life she lived and the impact she had on everyone around her. Sharon’s legacy is one of love, laughter, and boundless kindness. She gave so much of herself, and we are all better for having known her. In remembering Sharon, we also remember the light she brought into our lives.
Though she is no longer with us physically, Sharon’s spirit will live on in each of us. She will live in the memories we carry, in the stories we tell, and in the love she gave to us all. Her kindness, her strength, and her ability to make others feel valued are qualities that we can continue to embody in our own lives. Sharon was one of the purest souls, and the way she loved those around her was a gift that will never be forgotten. She taught us all how to live with a heart open to others, to laugh in the face of adversity, and to love without reservation.
As I sit here, still grappling with the shock of losing her, I am filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the time I had with Sharon. We shared a bond that was unbreakable, and I take comfort in knowing that her love will always be with me. Even though she is no longer here in person, I can feel her presence in my heart, and I know that she will continue to watch over us, guiding us with the same love and kindness she showed us throughout her life.
To anyone who had the privilege of knowing Sharon, I ask that we all hold onto the memories she gave us. Let us remember her laughter, her warmth, and the way she made everyone feel special. Let us carry forward her legacy by being kind to one another, by offering support when it’s needed, and by never losing sight of what really matters—love, family, and connection.
And to Sharon, my dear sister, words cannot express how much I will miss you. You were a constant in my life, and I am forever grateful for the love, laughter, and memories we shared. You were, and always will be, a part of me. Rest peacefully, knowing that your legacy will live on in all of us. You are now reunited with Mum and Dad, and though I am heartbroken by your absence, I find comfort in knowing that you are surrounded by love in heaven. You will never be forgotten. You will always be loved. And you will forever be missed.
Goodbye for now, Sharon. You were a treasure, and I love you, always.
