Sharon Konnerth-Culliton

Entered into the presence of her most merciful Saviour, Jesus Christ on Tuesday, October 24^th in her 59^th year. Sharon was surrounded by her loving family at the home of her daughter Rachel on the evening of her 29^th birthday. Beloved wife of Peter Culliton.  Loving, compassionate, and most generous mother of Rebekah (Chris) Fraser, Andrew (Aimee) Konnerth, Rachel Konnerth and her fiancé Mohrgan Pratten.  Proud grandmother of Andrew David Konnerth.  Affectionately remembered by Andy and Cheryl Konnerth. Dear sister of Barbara (the late Wayne) Stortz, Joani (Paul) Loos, Bonnie (Brad) Bettschen, Sheldon Webber, Deborah (Dave) Southwell, Ronnie Webber, Ross Webber, Corey Webber and Patty Eckenswiller. Also fondly remembered by her Aunt Florence, many nieces, nephews, and cousins as well as Lisa, Chris, Ben and Jill Schinkel, Melissa and Andrea Flook and the Culliton and Konnerth families and friends. Predeceased by her parents Albert and Virginia Webber.

Sharon loved the Lord with all her heart and enjoyed worshiping and being involved in fundraising efforts with the Mount Forest Pentecostal Church. She lived her life to serve others and was devoted to her family.  She was always on the hunt to find that special gift to bless those she loved. She loved her pets and had a soft spot for any animal that needed a home.  She loved to laugh, have fun, and was known to call a lone euchre hand.

An exceptional mom, Sharon spent her life dedicated to her children which at times was no easy feat with three children all one year apart. Sharon thrived at being a mother and investing in her children’s lives. Words cannot describe the love we feel for our mother, the example she set, the endless hours she sowed into our lives, and the person she helped us to become. Our mother’s outer beauty was only dimmed by her inner beauty and strength. Thank you mom for your many sacrifices and your unfailing love.

My beautiful bride, my Rose of Sharon, I will miss you and treasure the many memories we made together. La Bella, Ella, Buttons, Clemmy and Autumn-Summer are so thankful for their mama who showered them with endless love, treats and car rides.

Friends may call at the England Funeral Home, 294 Main Street South, Mount Forest on Sunday, October 29^th from 2 – 4 p.m. and 7 – 9 p.m.  A celebration of Sharon’s life will be held at Mount Forest Pentecostal Church, 259 Fergus Street South, Mount Forest on Monday at 1 p.m.  Interment will take place at the Holstein Cemetery with reception to follow.  As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations to the Mount Forest Pentecostal Church Window Fund would be appreciated by the family. Many thanks to Pastor David Watson and the  Mount Forest Pentecostal Church for their prayerful support.
