Sharon HARRISON

Sadly passed away on the 06/03/2023. Sharon will be deeply missed by sister Betty, brother Colin and all their friends and family, all who knew and supported her at New Prospects and the staff at Gainford Care Home Throckley, who supported Sharon over the last few years. Sharon was strong, thoughtful, caring and one of the funniest people ever to walk this earth. She was fond of telling people how she had a tough life and proud that when she was younger she was " a little horror". She took the spirit of that "little horror" into adult life, fighting for her own rights and those of others, and battling the health problems she endured over recent years. Despite the challenges she faced her first thought was always about others - most conversations started with her asking, "how's your family?" "and how are you". Sharon had a quick mind, a sharp sense of humour and a healthy disregard for rules and authority. She was a rebel WITH a cause and will be sorely missed. Please join us for a celebration of Sharon's life at 12.00 at Tynemouth Crematorium on the 30th March 2023.
