The Women We Honour

Rowena Mae Sharpe, St. Mary’s First Nation, was bludgeoned to death by her estranged husband on March 20, 2012, about a week after they had separated.  He then killed himself.

 

Rowena was a proud and adoring mother to her three beautiful children. She loved spending time with her family and friends. Her parents, four siblings, and countless friends, recall an amazing woman who loved the children she worked with at the Day Care as an Early Childhood Educator.  Rowena also loved her dogs, Girl and Sasha, working in the yard, and having lots of barbeques during the nice weather.  An avid walker, Rowena could often be seen pulling her youngest son along in a wagon.  Rowena is sadly missed by everyone in her community and she will never be forgotten.
