It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Sharlene Loch on Thursday, May 5, 2016, days shy of her 54th birthday.

Sharlene leaves behind to forever cherish her memory her loving husband Keith; sons Mitchell (grandson Cohen), and Codie (Kat); her mother Gloria (Ed) of Sweetgrass First Nation; sisters: Linda and family of North Battleford, Sandy (Albert) and family of Glenside, Brenda and family of Sweetgrass First Nation; her stepmother Shirley of North Battleford; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. She is predeceased by her father Ron Belanger; and her grandparents Jonas and Marie Sjoberg, and Joseph and Mary Belanger.

Sharlene had the heart of an angel and the mouth of a trucker.

She was extremely passionate about her family and taking care of others. Sharlene spent her life making sure everyone was healthy, happy, and well taken care of. She was direct, hardworking, compassionate, motivated, honest, and always there for her family, friends, and patients. No matter who you were or what walk of life you came from, Sharlene was there with an open mind, an open soul, and an open heart.

Sharlene was also known for her amazing toffee. Whether it was at bakes sales or given as a gift, you couldn’t help but eat half a tray at once. She always baked and cooked enormous amounts of foodbecause leaving her house hungry was not an option. Sharlene loved to garden, mainly her flowers. You could always find her singing, mainly Tina Turner’s “Addicted To Love”. Sharlene also loved reading Viking romance novels and writing poetry. If you couldn’t find her doing those things, she was probably shopping or at the casino. She also enjoyed the amazing jewelry gifts from the doctors’ trips around the world. She was quite the fashionista.

A service to celebrate Sharlene’s life will be held at 2:00 pm on Monday, May 9, 2016 from the Chapel of Sallows and McDonald – Wilson and Zehner Funeral Home. She will be laid to rest with her father Ron at Woodlawn Memorial Gardens immediately following the service. Tributes in Sharlene’s memory may be made to The Lung Association of Saskatchewan, 1231 8th Street East, Saskatoon, S7H 0S5. Condolences for the family may be left at www.sallowsandmcdonald.com
