It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our mother Doreen Sharpe (Newell) on December 13, 2024, at the Vernon hospital where Mom was born February 9, 1929.

Mom is predeceased by two husbands, Don Johnson (1956), George Sharpe (1996), three sons, Roy Johnson, Bob Johnson, Stan Sharpe and one daughter, Pat Bennie.

She is survived by daughters, Chris Johnson, Bev (Mel) Mytron and son, Tom Sharpe as well as so many grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and sister Jean Beazley.

Mom was happiest surrounded by family, having picnics at the park or enjoying the sunshine at the beach.

We will have a celebration of life picnic for Mom at a later date.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Dr Kirkpatrick and the many nurses on 7 th floor at VJH, they went above and beyond caring for Mom and helping us through this difficult time.
