ZYLSTRA, Sharon Ann Zylstra
ZYLSTRA, Sharon Ann Zylstra - 6-Sep-1945 - 11-Sep-2024
Sharon passed away peacefully on September 11, 2024, just days after celebrating her 79th birthday.
Sharon was fiercely loved by her friends and family and a source of inspiration to all her neighbours. She was affectionately known as "the bike lady". On good weather days she could be found riding around celebrating her freedom on her beloved three-wheeler bike.
Predeceased by her father Arthur Ernest Winger and mother Helen Ann Winger (nee Pyle). She is survived by her husband and best friend, Frank, her four children, Melissa (Nemec), Matthew, Louise and Irene (Dunlop), six beloved grandchildren Beatrix, Benjamin, Henry, Hannah, Ellee, and Claire, and her wonderful clan of 9 siblings and their spouses.
As the eldest daughter, Sharon quickly became her mother's helper and initiated her into a life of service, which also played out in her professional life as an operating room nurse and wife to her beloved partner, Frank. Her faith-based values and constant support influenced the lives of her dear children, as from her perspective, motherhood was the most valuable gift in this lifetime.
Her kind-heartedness, love for people and a contagious smile translated into constant chats and enlightened spirits. Constantly caring for her home and husband, she was also known to dote over her beloved grandchildren and took great pleasure in helping them discover the world around them, which included cooking lessons and spoiling them with treats including the family-famous banana chocolate chip muffins.
While she left us far too soon, we take comfort in knowing she is now with her lord and those who we have loved and lost.
The family kindly asks that you remember Sharon as a source of love and an example of a life lived in alignment to her unwavering faith in Jesus.
Donations may be made in Sharon's name to her spiritual home, Melville Presbyterian Church (link).
Visitation, Funeral and reception services will be held on Monday September 16 at Melville Presbyterian Church, Old Kingston Road, Scarborough, Ontario.
A more intimate service will follow for family and loved ones unable to travel, on Tuesday September 17 at Hyde and Mott Chapel, Hagersville, Ontario, followed by internment at the Springvale Cemetery and reception at Springvale United Church.
Those we love we never lose,
For always they will be,
Loved, remembered, treasured,
Always in our memory.

MCCABE, Margaret Jean Leslie McCabe
MCCABE, Margaret Jean Leslie McCabe - February 10, 1935 – September 9, 2024
It is with deep sorrow we announce the passing of Margaret Jean Mccabe, at the age of 89 years. Jean was an absolutely beautiful woman, both inside and out. She was a loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend to all whose lives she blessed.
Jean was a successful entrepreneur, spending 20 years running herself established family business, "McCabe's Cheese Nook", in Bowmanville. She was later joined by her daughter Pam, and they ran the business for the last 5 years together. Above all, Jean was selfless and kind-hearted. She was always thinking of others and making them feel welcome. Every time you visited you were immediately asked if you were hungry and welcomed in with open arms. She is a beautiful soul.
Jean was very creative. Always knitting, quilting, and perfecting her gardens. She enjoyed golfing and watching sports on TV during her evenings with Doug.
Jean was the loving and devoted wife of her late husband Doug McCabe. Pre-deceased by her parents Marjorie and Leslie Atkinson, and her son, Frank. Jean was also the beloved mother of Pam (+John), Wendy (Brian), and Donna (Kevin). She was the proud grandmother of Brett (Kandas), Candace, Colin (Ashley), Michelle (Cory), Ken, Robb (Noelle), and Krystyna (Tyler). Jean also cherished her great grandchildren Eastyn, Tyson, Arya, Karson, Peyton, Atlas, Aurora, Paxton, Evan, Maykayla, Audryna, Amari and Emerson. She lived a full life as a wonderful mother, businesswoman, and friend.
Her departure leaves an unfillable void in our lives, yet we find comfort in the memories and everlasting love we shared.
