SHARON BAILEY (nee KENNEDY) It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of our beloved wife, mother and grand-mother, Sharon Bailey. She died peacefully, after a brief illness, at Riverview Health Centre on Sunday, May 11, 2003. She is survived by her loving husband Tom, of 36 years of marriage; daughters, Karen Bailey of Ottawa, ON and Tara McBride (Russ) of Wetaskiwin, AB; son David Bailey (Lynn) of Winnipeg, MB; granddaughter Bailey Kate McBride; sisters, Joan Dick (Darrel) of Regina, SK and Florence Mryglod (Bill) of Weyburn, SK; brother Norman Kennedy (Doreen) of Moose Jaw, SK; niece Sandy Mang (Lyle) of Saskatoon, SK; as well as other numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. Sharon grew up in Saskatoon and Weyburn, as well as Winnipeg, and later spent many years in Halifax / Dartmouth, NS; Toronto, Trenton and Ottawa, ON; St. Albert, AB; and Winnipeg. She graduated from St. Pauls School of Nursing in Saskatoon and was a very compassionate and caring Registered Nurse. She joined the Royal Canadian Navy and served at Shearwater, NS, as a Medevac Flight Nurse, and after her marriage in 1967, worked at the Halifax Infirmary. After taking time out to raise her children, she resumed her nursing career with the Victorian Order of Nurses in Trenton, then Ottawa and finally retiring from the VON in Winnipeg in 2001. For many years, Sharon enjoyed the close friendships she made through the Beta Sigma Phi Sorority, her quilting, work, and other activities. She was also active as a volunteer in her parish.
