Sharlene Wilcox, loving wife, mom and grandma passed away peacefully due to cancer Wednesday, January 19, 2022, in Nanaimo, B.C. Sharlene spent her last days in the company of her family letting us know how much she loved each of us and telling jokes to lift our spirits.
She will live forever in our memories filled with laughter, joy and happiness, and as an inspiration to dream big and approach life as an adventure.
In life, Sharlene loved spending time with her family, her dog Jewels, and many close friends. Sharlene was always excited to travel and especially loved to spend time on the ocean or at the beach, as well as cooking, camping and gardening.
Sharlene is survived by her husband, Craig Wilcox, her daughters Crystal DeCnodder and Candy Davis, her grandchildren Charlie, Jaeger and August, her mother Shirley Press, her sister Danielle Gravelle, and her brother Randy Joinson. Sharlene is predeceased by her father Peter Joinson.
Sharlene's family would like to thank the staff at the Nanaimo Regional Hospital for all the compassionate care and support during her stay.
They are also grateful to family and friends for all their support during this very difficult time.
A private family gathering will take place at a later date.
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face
and the rain fall soft upon your fields,
until we meet again.
