SHARON HUBICK (née Hill) December 11, 1939 – October 9, 2015 Sharon passed away peacefully in her home on Friday, October 9, 2015 with her family by her side, after a long courageous battle with cancer. Sharon will be fondly remembered by her loving husband of 50 years, Aden, and daughters Nancy (Farley) Kalanuk and Bette Jo (Ron) Olson; grandchildren Sharma, Lindsay Jo, Nicole (Dave) and Dallas (deceased); sister Joanne Hennie; brother Jack (Margaret) Hill; brother-in-law Vern Leach; sisters-in-law Ev Hill, Eileen (Floyd) Faller, Joyce (Jim) Peters and Dianne (Reg) Marchuk; special cousin Bev (Ray) Storey as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Sharon was predeceased by her parents Alfred and Undine Hill, mother and father-in-law John and Anne Hubick; sisters Bette Leach and Diane Schneider; brother Ken Hill; two brothers-in-law Walter Hennie and Bernie Schneider; sister-in-law Adena Handley. Sharon was born on December 11, 1939 to Alfred and Undine Hill in Yellow Grass, Saskatchewan, and was the youngest of six children. Sharon spent her childhood in Yellow Grass and later graduated from Moose Jaw Teachers’ College. In 1963 she met the love of her life, Aden Hubick and they were married on July 10, 1965 and built a life together in Regina. Together they had two daughters. Sharon was an avid sports fan. She loved playing golf and curling. In 1993, Sharon’s curling team won the Saskatchewan Provincial Senior Ladies Championship. She could enthusiastically watch almost any sport on TV, but in-particular was a huge Roughriders and Blue Jays fan. Sharon loved to play bridge with her sisters and nieces and had weekly games with her close friends. She would always comment on all the fun and laughs she had with her bridge ladies - aka “bridge bags”. It was fortunate that she was able to continue this until earlier this year. Sharon loved her grandchildren deeply and would spend countless hours reading with them, playing games or just telling stories. Sharon had the most positive outlook on life, and despite the health issues she had the past few years, she never wavered in her optimism. She always had a kind word and a smile for everyone. The family would like to make a special thank you to the Regina Palliative Care Unit. The kindness, knowledge, friendship and care that was provided to Sharon by Dr. Jancewicz, the homecare specialists, nurses, therapists and numerous others was tremendous and we cannot thank each and every one enough. Funeral Service will take place at Lakeview United Church, 3200 McCallum Avenue, Regina, SK on Sunday, October 18 at 1:30 p.m. with a reception to follow at the Wascana Country Club, 6500 Wascana Drive, Regina. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Sharon’s name to the Regina Palliative Care Inc., 4F – 4101 Dewdney Avenue, Regina SK S4T 1A5.
