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.

August 9, 1954 – May 7, 2022

Eddy passed peacefully after struggling many years with end stage cardiac disease.  He was predeceased by his parents, Don & Blandine and three brothers, Don, Patrick, Roderick. 

He leaves behind his family whose hearts are broken.  His wife,  Sharon, his children Cale (Asami) (Kenji -June 2022), Lisa (Ben) Liam & Devon, Jeremy (Camille) Ella, Stephan (Alyssa) Peyton and Aidah;  his brothers Jim (Linda), Bruce, Stuart, Kevin (Kim);  sisters, Beatrice (Bob), Dorothy (Ron), Sherrin (Jerry), Jeanna (Barry) and many nieces and nephews.  

 I first met Eddy when I was 17, I thought he was very good looking, and he was kind and a quiet man. He was always very supportive of me and was my best friend.  He was a good husband, that’s who he was. 

 Eddy loved his children and grandchildren, they were his life. The children remember him for his limitless patience, his laugh and his insights. Nothing could get him down. He was so strong for the kids when they needed him. He cheered them up fun and silliness. They knew they could always count on Dad. He taught the children what it meant to be part of a family. He was a good good father, that was who he was.

Eddy was also devoted to his mom after his dad passed. He would visit her regularly and they were very close. He loved to take the kids and go over and visit her, brightening her day and keeping the family connection strong. He was a good son,  that was who he was.

Ed was also close to his brothers and sisters.  He was the 10th of 12 kids, and they all stayed close to each other and Ed had nothing but good memories growing up on Brooklyn Street.  He was a good brother, that was who he was. 

He worked selling paper and was the company’s best salesman for years. He had a good relationship with all his clients.  He was very proud that he could tell you anything about paper just by the feel and mark.  After he left that job he worked for many years at photo radar; a job he really enjoyed, especially the fellowship with his co-workers.  He was a good friend and good worker, that was who he was. 

No formal service will be held but a Celebration of Life will be held  on Monday May 23rd from 5 to 7 pm at the Viscount Gort Hotel.  Please stop by and share any memories with his family.
