November 15, 1959 – July 25, 2025
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Sharon McLellan (née McCullough) on July 25, 2025, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, at the age of 65.
Sharon was born on November 15, 1959, in Winnipeg to Eva McCullough (née Karpick) and Gerald McCullough. She was deeply rooted in her community and cherished by all who knew her for her warmth, strength, and unwavering love for her family.
She was predeceased by her father Gerald, mother Eva, husband Ed, sister Kathleen, and daughter-in-law Alyssa.
Sharon is survived by her loving children: Cale (Asami), Jeremy (Camille), Stephan, and Lisa; her sister Linda; brothers Tim and Ken; and her cherished grandchildren: Peyton, Aidah, Ella, Kenji, and Levi.
Highlights of Sharon’s youth include her love of sports—she played, enjoyed, and excelled at softball, coached by her father, and spent many memorable years as a speed skater with the St. James Speed Skating Club. The club was a major part of her life growing up and a source of joy and accomplishment.
Sharon went on to attend nursing school and dedicated much of her career to helping others as a nurse at the Health Sciences Centre. She also spent many joyful summers serving as the camp nurse at Faith Bible Camp, where her compassion and energy were a blessing to many.
In the later years of her adult life, Sharon became highly knowledgeable in alternative health treatments. She took pride in sharing her vast medical and health knowledge with anyone who needed guidance or support, always eager to help others feel better in both body and spirit.
Family was at the heart of Sharon’s life. She was always deeply involved in her children’s lives, keeping them busy with sports, church, and activities. Alongside her husband Ed, Sharon fostered many children over the years—creating a loving, welcoming home where countless young people found care, guidance, and joy. There are many more sons and daughters out there who will remember Sharon’s kindness and spirit.
Her home on Whitegates Crescent was a place where fun, laughter, and hospitality were always in full supply. She was beloved not only by her own children, but also by their friends from school and church, all of whom were welcomed like family. Sharon had a larger-than-life personality, and she made sure every holiday—especially Christmas and Thanksgiving—was a time of joy, tradition, and togetherness.
A time of remembrance will be held on Thursday, August 7, starting at 7:00 p.m. at St. James Gospel Chapel, 337 Inglewood Street, Winnipeg.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to Faith Bible Camp, an organization close to Sharon’s heart.
She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all whose lives she touched.

I will miss our hours long chats on Sunday… I enjoyed our trips together to Toronto, Victoria and the Bahamas. You were kind and compassionate and always a veracious advocate when it came to health. I will miss you my dear cousin. Love you always Leslie.

Rob and I would like to extend our sincere condolences on Sharon’s passing. Unfortunately, distance prevented us from meeting more often and getting to know each other better. Yes, larger than life definitely comes to mind when I think of her, and I will always remember her infectious, seemingly inexhaustible energy, sense of humour and caring spirit. She was truly one of a kind.
I got to know Sharon through work at HSC . We both nursed on H7, the Medical ICU for many years. Sharon was a good nurse, kind hearted with a great sense of humor ! I enjoyed our years of working together , we had some crazy shifts and good laughs ! RIP Sharon, your friend Tracey
Ken and family are extending our condolences to the the rest of the family. We are sorry we’re unable to attend the remembrance service but will be thinking of all the family get to-gethers, and family times celebrated.
We want to express our deepest sympathies on the loss of Sharon. I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting her in person but we were in contact by email and messenger. Thank you for the beautiful obituary as it described her life, family and friends. She was so loved by many and wish that I had known more about her.
I had the privilege of working along side with Sharon in the Cardiac Cath lab at HSC/SBGH. She was a kind soul and great nurse. I also got to know Sharon outside of nursing and she was a caring loving person. I am deeply saddened to see this news but at the same time know she’s in the loving arms of our saviour. Rest in peace Sharon
