SHARRON CATHERINE BAYLEY

SHARRON CATHERINE BAYLEY (nee Strain) Sharron Catherin Bayley (nee Strain) passed away peacefully at the age of 76 on October 1, 2023 in Penetanguishene, Ontario. Sharron is deeply missed by her devoted husband of 53 years, Frank; their three children Dean (Isabelle), Jill and Deborah (Dan); six grandchildren Kristen (Greg), Nick (Kendall), Shayla, Aspen, Stella and Sophie; three great-grandchildren Cameron, Bear and August; her siblings David Strain, Lynne (Jim) Sulyma, Debbie (Darcy) Warren and Kathi (Dean) Elvidge; and her many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Sharron’s passion for science often had her learning about new technologies, while her love of nature and exploring called her to lakes, fields and forests. She loved to be surrounded by trees and sunshine, and family time spent ‘off the grid’ at the cottage was the highlight of each summer, along with countless road-trips through rolling hills. She greeted everyone with a smile, and her warmth and compassion left a profound impact on everyone she met, whether during her four-decades at IBM, her work with St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Newmarket, her involvement in her children’s activities and interests, or the many wandering travels she and Frank took together. In her passing, Sharron joins her parents Catherine and Wallace “Munroe” Strain, brother Ross, sister-in-law Susan Strain, mother-in-law Anna Bayley and father-in-law Chuck Bayley in her next grand adventure exploring the wonders of the universe. A memorial service was held to Celebrate Sharron’s Life on Wednesday, October 4, 2023, at Carson Funeral Homes, J.H. Lynn Chapel, 290 First St. in Midland, Ontario 705-526-6551. The service was livestreamed and recorded on You Tube and can be accessed by going to the Carson Funeral Home page. Sharron’s family would like to give special thanks to the dedicated and caring staff at Trillium Health Partners Mississauga Hospital, Georgian Bay General Hospital and Hospice Huronia – Tomkins House in Penetanguishene.
