Rachel Marie SHARMAN

SHARMAN Rachel Marie May 17th, 1990 - October 31st, 2009 It is with a profound sense of loss that we announce the sudden passing of our cherished daughter and sister Rachel Marie Sharman. From the moment she entered our lives she brought a sparkle and sense of joy that we will carry in our hearts forever. Rachel was a loyal friend and was loved by so many. She had a strong sense of justice, felt things deeply and regardless of the personal cost she always championed the underdog. We will miss her beautiful smile. Rachel embraced challenge, enjoyed competition and had a wonderful sense of adventure yet she was as comfortable curled up with a book in the corner as she was fearlessly flying down a mountain on skis. Whether it was in her photography, her sense of fashion or in her art, Rachel achieved her goals with a stubborn determination. Rachel is survived by her parents Doran and Annmarie Sharman, sister Caitlin, grandparents Robert (Bob) and Dorothy Sharman and extended family and friends. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Rachel Sharman Memorial Fund at any branch of the North Shore Credit Union. The recipient of this fund to be determined. A service for Rachel is to be held on Tuesday, November 10, 2:00 pm, at the North Lonsdale United Church, 3380 Lonsdale Ave., North Vancouver.
