Sharen Tibensky
On Monday April 17, 2023 at Lakeridge Health, Oshawa, Ontario, Sharen Tibensky, (nee Price), was called home in her 72nd year.

Sharen will be held dear in the hearts of her many nieces, nephews, and extended family. She will be fondly remembered by her friends, and by her former students and colleagues.
(Sharen was a retired teacher from the Durham District School Board).
Sharen’s greatest love was her family and she cherished her time with her grandchildren more than words can express.
Although our hearts are truly saddened, they are somewhat at peace knowing that Sharen is now free from pain having suffered for more than a decade with compromising health issues. She was ever brave in her fight to be well and never asked for sympathy nor pity.
She fought the good fight. It is for certain that this loss forever changes our family. Born on Remembrance Day 1951, going forward we will remember her on that special day, all the more.
Sharen passed close to sunset as she journeyed home. The sun has set on an amazing life.
Love has no age, no limit and no death.
