Sharon grew up and went to School in Calmar, AB then moved to Breton, AB. Sharon moved away to Major, Saskatchewan and met and married Herbert Yalte. They moved to Calgary and raised three children, their home was always open to the family. Both enjoyed camping and fishing every chance they could. They decided to move to Hanna, AB to retire, however, Sharon continued to work part time at Freson Bros Bakery department.
Sharon loved her home and her friends in Hanna. Sherri, Sharon’s neighbour, grew to be part of our family, and they leaned on each other for support. Sharon enjoyed gardening and watching her beautiful flowers grow; she would spend hours in her garden. She had a special love for her animals (predeceased) Bubbles, Mr. Snuggles. Chili and Pepper who will miss their Mommy.
When you went to Hanna to visit, she was always ready to cook and was known for the best Lemon Meringue Pie! Sharon was always ready to play Bingo, Crib and Yahtzee, Scratch tickets and enjoyed watching the Game shows and crime shows. She enjoyed sports, never missing her favorite teams play (Calgary Flames and Stampeders) Sharon was a girls baseball coach for years and accomplished a perfect season and took the girls to win the Championship that year!
A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, March 31, 2023, at 1:00 pm at Calgary Church of Christ (4030 Maryvale Drive NE, Calgary, AB) with a luncheon to follow.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Sharon’s memory to the Hanna SPCA, or by phone at 403-854-3700.
