Obituary for Sharalyn Marie Campbell

It is with profound sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Sharalyn Campbell (née Reader) on Sunday, March 2, 2025, at Oak Ridges Hospice in Port Perry, at the age of 70. Sharalyn was born in Port Perry, Ontario, to Owen and Ora Reader.

Rick Campbell of Blackstock first met the love of his life in grade nine at Port Perry High School. Capturing Rick’s attention with her bright smile, Sharalyn was a beautiful young woman, a star athlete, and a talented figure skater. Initially, she wanted nothing to do with the Nestleton farm boy, but in 1972, the stars aligned, and she finally agreed to their first date. Three years later, on September 6, 1975, they married and spent the next 49 years hopelessly devoted to one another.

Shortly after her marriage, Sharalyn dedicated her life to being an incredible stay-at-home mom to her two adoring children, Alisa Cole (Jason) of Port Perry and Deryk Campbell (Erin) of Blackstock. She cherished every moment of motherhood, from preparing delicious home-cooked meals and baked goods to driving her children to their many extracurricular activities and sporting events. Her greatest joy came when she graduated from loving mom to cherished grandma to Jacob, Audrey, and Emily. She loved nothing more than quietly crafting with her grandchildren.

Sharalyn will be dearly missed by her brother Bryan Reader (Debbie), sisters-in-law Karen, Judy, and Deb, brothers-in-law Rod and Bruce, as well as her many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude for the kindness, support, and compassionate care provided by the team at Oak Ridges Hospice, Drs. Hadden and Kadakia, and the staff at Port Perry Hospital.

Service Details:

A private graveside service will be held in the spring with close family and friends at Nestleton United Church Cemetery, 3991 Proutt Road, Nestleton, Ontario.
