lt is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Sharon Fitzsimmons on Tuesday June 9th, 2026, at the age of 71. Cherished wife and soulmate of the late Peter Barczynski (2024). Dearly loved mother of Marc LeBlanc (Joelle) and Onile LeBlanc (Tanya) and second “Ma” to Lawrence Barczynski and Bryan Nash. Grandma Sharon to James Bygrave, Melissa Bygrave, Marc and Alex LeBlanc, and Great Grandma to Phoenix Clyburn. Survived by her mother, Catherine Rausch of South River. Big sister to to Debra Page (Donny) and Margaret Lambe and fondly remembered by nieces, nephews and extended family.
Sharon demonstrated an unwavering love and devotion to her family. As much as she did not want to leave them behind, she is grateful for the chance to be reunited with her best friend and beloved husband, Peter.
Keeping with Sharon’s wishes cremation has taken place.
Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated by the family.

Heartfelt condolences Marc, Onile, Bryan, Larry and to your families on the recent loss of your beloved Mother, Grandmother, and “Ma”. Family meant everything to Sharon. She was always very kind and helpful to our mother by bringing over delcious meals and doing errands for her after our dad died, and held Bryan and Larry close to her heart like her own. Sharon had a generous spirit. She was Peter’s soul mate in the truest sense of the word – they had a good life together. May they Rest in Peace together, united in love and death. Sincerely, Linda Barczynski Hamstra and family
