Sharon Cousins, 75, of Goderich, passed away peacefully on August 10, 2026 at Jessica’s House Hospice.
Sharon was born on August 19, 1950, in Clinton, Ontario. She was a devoted wife and mother, and bonus mom and grandma to the Leddy family. Throughout her life, Sharon was known for her kindness, generosity and sense of humour. She has a special way of making people laugh, and wasn’t afraid to crack a joke or make an inappropriate comment or two.
Sharon spent many years working as a nurse, where she took great pride in her ability to help others, as well as the relationships she made along the way. Outside of work, Sharon loved to play golf, cards, darts and shuffleboard.
She found great joy in giving back to her community, generously supporting charitable causes and creating opportunities for local children. She was especially passionate about the Cuzzy Golf Camp and her involvement with the Goderich Legion, where she helped foster a sense of community, connection, and belonging for many people she met.
Sharon will be lovingly remembered by Dwane (Tanya), her grandchildren Kyra, Camden, Kerrington and Alaina. She was survived by her sister-in-law Ruth (Marty), Shirley, and Don Cousins. She was predeceased by her beloved son Aaron and husband Bob, as well as Jim Cousins (Reta) and father Thomas Little.
Visitation will be held at Haskett Funeral Home, 11 Cambria Road North, GODERICH on Saturday, August 15th from 9:30 – 10:30 AM, where Sharon’s funeral service will be held at 11 AM. Interment Maitland Cemetery, Goderich.
A gathering will follow at the Goderich Legion from 2 – 4 PM.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Cuzzy Golf Camp at Sunset Golf Course or the Royal Canadian Legion- Branch 109 (Goderich Legion) in Sharon’s Memory.
We would like to thank the staff and volunteers at Jessica’s House Hospice for the loving and supportive care in Sharon’s last days.

Your kindness, friendship, and the special person you were will never be forgotten. You touched our lives in ways we will always be grateful for. You will be deeply missed and remembered with great fondness. Our heartfelt condolences to your family and everyone who loved you.
May Sharon RIP. She was always such a giving person, donating to the Legion on a weekly basis with her draws for gift cards. Her presence will be missed as a regular at the meat draws. Sharon was happy to help out and proved that time and time again. I had the privilege to golf with Sharon a few times, many laughs were had. As a nurse she was top shelf. I will miss her presence and smiling even through the toughest times in Sharon life she was a positive influence to others.
My condolences to all of Sharon’s family and friends!!!
I will certainly remember Sharon with a smile. She was a wonderful person who always looked on the good side of things even through her grief of losing her son and her husband she carried on with dignity and strength, just as she did with her own failing health. May Sharon rest in peace, knowing that she made such a positive difference in so many lives. She was such an example of kindness and volunteerism. I enjoyed working with Bob at Windsor Salt always jovial and such a gentleman…… quite a couple… Real role models!💓💔
Sorry to hear this news. I hope she is reunited with her family in the great beyond.
I am so heartbroken to hear of this new of our beautiful Sharon.
She worked with my mum at AMGH. Great bunch of nurses.
She was an amazing woman and will honestly be missed by many. Especially myself. We played bingo together.
My heart felt condolences go to you all.
RIP my friend.
To a cherished Nana whose laughter, infectious wit, and wonderful sense of humour brought so much joy to everyone around her. She knew how to enjoy the simple pleasures—a Caesar, a smoke, a good laugh, and the company of those she loved.
Though she will be deeply missed, there is comfort in knowing she is now reunited with her boys, where I’m sure the laughter and stories have already begun.
Rest peacefully, thanks for the love you always shared with Kyra, Camden and Kerrington. 💗
Sharon was a special person to many. She helped me on my final days in the hospital to see my dieing father. She had a smile and great sense of humor. She will be missed by everyone who was lucky enough to know her. Sincere condolences to her family.
May Sharon RIP. She was a sweet heart woman we all love her at Legion in Goderich. We are going to miss her a lot from my heart ❤️ I hope her family is ok. it be sad times for her family but RIP Sharon Cousins
My deepest sympathy to Sharon’s friends and family. Sharon was a talented nurse, and a loving Mom. She lived life on her terms, and left her mark, wherever her path in life led. Her quick wit and sense of humour was often her secret weapon, when she cared for her patients on their journey back to health. Laughter was always an integral part of her working day. RIP Sharon…….I know of a few people who’ll be waiting at the pearly gates to welcome you home.
Sincere condolences to Sharon’s family on her passing. Worked with
Sharon at AMGH and enjoyed the friendship of golfing at Sunset. She will
be missed by family and friends. May she rest in peace.

To Sharon’s family out sincere condolences in this sad time she will be miss a very much.
Dear Sharon will be missed by so many!
Our hearts are broken and life won’t be the same without her.
Rest in Peace dear friend🫶🏻
I was blessed to meet Sharon in nursing school which grew into a lifelong friendship! What a wonderful nurse she was and a fantastic person all around. Her beautiful smile and infectious laugh will stay in my memory forever. RIP my friend – and you finally are back with your boys💜
Over the years we knew Sharon as a caring nurse with my mother and during my years at AMGH as well. We knew Bob and Sharon as parents when our children were all part of the same friend group. We knew Bob and Sharon at the Legion meat draws for many years and there was always a good chat and a laugh. Over the last few years Sharon and I had many conversations and shared more than a few jokes. Sharon will always be remembered for her generosity of spirit and contributions to the community through golf and Legion donations. You will be missed.
I worked with Sharon for many years at AGMH, and so we shared many highs and lows, good times and bad times. Her skill as a nurse and her sense of humour often made a shift much better, as we encountered the joy of a new birth, or the sadness of someone passing. My sincere condolences, and may she RIP.
Sincerest condolences to Sharon’s family, friends and acquaintances. She was feisty, spunky and at times totally outrageous, and could make the most raunchy remarks. But the bottom line is she was totally Sharon, and we loved her for it. Rest in peace sweetie pie.
We don’t even know where to begin. Sharon you were our best friend and confidant. Know that ours hearts are broken but take comfort that you and Cuzzy and Bob are together again. Say hi to Cuzzy and tell him we miss him and love him. We won’t say goodbye but see ya later. Love you. 💕
Sincere condolences to Sharon’s family and friends.
She will be greatly missed.A lot of good memories.
Deepest Sympathy to all of Sharon’s family and friends.
My condolences to all of Sharon’s Family & Friends at this difficult time. I met her at Goderich Legion 12 years ago and up until she sold me tickets in July at the meat draw, she always had a smile for me and a joke. A lot of laughs were shared with each other. She was such a loving lady and will be truly missed. We got to say our Good byes to each other at her Celebration of Life at Jessica’s House on the Sunday. Thinking of you all and sending hugs.💞

So very sorry to hear of Sharon’s passing.We were neighbour’s and I too was a work partner of Sharon’s. Thinking of the family at this difficult time.
Sadden to hear of Sharon’s passing. I met her at the Legion. She was always quite the character. She made Karaoke very entertaining.
Condolences to her family and friends
Please accept our deepest condolences.
No one we knew was ever so generous in her kind words, inappropriate jokes, love and affection.
She will be missed by so many, especially at the legion.
We bet Bob and Aaron met her with open arms!
Having worked at AMGH for 40 yrs…some of the best memories l have were of Sharon. Her goofy pranks, that belly laugh! Her no- nonsense attitude..that stern look when she meant business!!..but most of all her very high nursing skills and the compassion for the people she cared for..She will be very much missed by friends, her family and loved ones, RIP Sharon in the arms of your husband and son. 🩵
Sharon will be missed by so many. RIP.
Sharon was one of the first people to welcome myself and my husband at Legion 109. We travelled from LaSalle On. many weekends and always felt welcomed. She was a sweet and funny woman. She had her moments and always said what was on her mind. I will miss her smiling face when we walk in the Legion . RIP Sharon..♥️
Sorry to learn of Sharons passing. She was my second cousin and I spent many days on the Little farm
as a young girl. I did not learn of her passing till recently. I am glad she finally had a happy life after loosing her son Aaron. Her mom passed recently and was well up in her 90s. May she rest in peace.
Your 2nd cousin Lori
