Many stories of this amazing woman
Sharon Ruth Watson, originally of
Calgary, most recently of Stettler, Alta.
beloved wife of Dave Watson, loving
mother of David, Jason and Kari,
passed away quietly in her home at the
age of 81 years.
Born in Calgary Dec. 19, 1942 to
Doreen and Richard Smith, Sharon
spent summers in Big Valley with her
Webster grandparents and cousins, all
of whom she loved dearly.
This spirited young girl grew into a
strong, beautiful, incredible caring
woman with a fantastic sense of
humour who was loved by all. Sharon
loved making people laugh, and never
missed an opportunity to do so.
Sharon met Dave Watson in high
Young man of passion and conviction
Quinten Golby was born on Aug. 12,
1999 at St. Mary’s Hospital, Camrose,
Alta. He attended Kindergarten to
Grade 9 at Brownfield
Community School,
Grade 10 - 12 at
Coronation High School
and went on to
Lethbridge College.
Quinten had many
hobbies: reptiles, goat
4-H, and Comicon, baseball
and basketball.
Quinten was a
remarkable young soul
who left a lasting mark
on all who knew him.
Golby
Quinten was a young man of passion
and conviction, with a heart as vast as
the prairie sky and a spirit as lively as
the creatures he so adored, lizards.
His fascination with these scaled
wonders was not merely a passing
fancy but a testament to his profound
curiosity and love for the natural
world.
Quinten was not one to shy away
from expressing his opinions. Whether
engaged in a lively debate or fervently
defending his beliefs, he approached
every interaction with unwavering
determination and boundless enthusiasm.
His tenacity was matched only
by his infectious zeal, igniting spirited
discussions that often left us both
enlightened and entertained.
Beyond his love for lizards and spirited
debates, Quinten possessed a
kindness that touched the lives of
those around him. He had a knack for
finding beauty in the simplest of
things and a generosity of spirit that
knew no bounds.
His laughter echoed like a melody
through the halls of our hearts,
leaving behind cherished memories
that we will hold dear forever.
Though Quinten’s time with us was
tragically brief, the impact he made
will endure for a lifetime.
As we bid farewell Quinten, let us
take solace in the knowledge that his
spirit lives on in the hearts of all who
knew him.
May his love for lizards, his unwavering
conviction, and his boundless
kindness serve as guiding lights in our
lives, reminding us to embrace our
passions, stand firm in our beliefs, and
always approach each day with the
same fervent joy that Quinten so
effortlessly embodied.
Rest in peace, dear Quinten. You
will be dearly missed but never
forgotten.
Quinten is survived by his parents
Tracey and Wade Golby; his grandparents
Clarence and Donna Golby and
Don and Linda Maron; brother Evan
Golby; aunts and uncles - Lyle and
Delayne Golby and their children
Jenna (Hunter Baldwin), Adam and
school and they were married in 1963.
Not long after, along came children
David, Jason and Kari. Sharon was a
doting wife and mother who extended
this love and care to three nephews
who she raised for a time in their perfect
little house in Parkhill.
Sharon and Dave loved to travel,
often taking road trips to the West
Coast and into the U.S. with friends
and family. Some of her favourite trips
were taken with cousin Allan and his
wife Sylvia, brother-in-law Wayne, and
let’s not forget her iconic trip to Las
Vegas with sister Deanna to see Elvis
perform.
It is no surprise that Sharon had several
dear, close friends, many of whom

A Celebration of Life for Quinten
was held at the Brownfield
she stayed in touch with for most of her
life.
If you called her in the mornings,
her line was often busy as she would be
on the phone sorting out the gossip and
problems of the world, wearing her signature
orange lipstick with a coffee
and a cigarette in her hand.
She loved having friends and family
over, and a card game or six was mandatory.
She loved playing Scrabble and
sometimes her games with Kari would
get a little bit tense. The bingo halls
and casinos will be missing her
contributions.
While primarily a homemaker for
most of her life, in her younger years
she worked at Simpsons Sears in the
