Sharon Leeper Obituary


SHARON LEE (WYCHE) LEEPER
March 25, 1946 ~ April 25, 2017

Sharon Leeper of Vancouver, WA, passed away after a very painful fight with pancreatic cancer. In life, she was a beautiful person, a wonderful wife and partner to Cliff and mother to her two boys, Warren and Chris.
Sharon gave of herself generously to everyone
who had the privilege of knowing her.
The workers, volunteers and patrons of HSSW know well her love for the animals and her seemingly endless energy to help them. (Sharon's picture is Sharon being Sharon helping a dog that is not hers.)
Please donate to the Humane Society for Southwest Washington or Pancreatic Cancer Research.
A celebration of her life may be held at a later date.

To Sharon's family, I'm so sorry for the pain you are going through and the loss of your mother and wife. Kind and beautiful people like her are much needed in this world and I thank you for making her life so happy and giving her so much joy. I grew up with her in Camp Fire and will always cherish the memory of all our experiences together.

Sharon was one of the kindest and most energetic people I've met in my life. Her love of animals was especially heartwarming - she would take every dog if needed and house them! The picture of Sharon with Hawk brings a smile to my face. He will certainly miss her too. Cliff, we are so terribly sorry for your loss - for you and your sons. We will miss her at the beach. Please take care and come down to the beach to change your scenery.

Sending my condolences to Sharon's family and friends. As we lose people from the HBHS Class of '64, I find myself reminiscing about these old friends and acquaintances. Clearly, Sharon had much love and fulfillment in her life.

Many fond memories of my friendship with Sharon. Lewis Junior High school, campfire girls and HBHS. Lost touch when I moved back to England but having photos has always kept the memories alive. Condolences to the family.

I remember Sharon well, smiling, gentle, our years at HBHS together. I am writing this from overseas, where I am working, but thinking of her brings high school right back.

The news of Sharon's passing is so sad. I remember her from Lewis Jr High more than from High School. But always think of her and her beautiful long dark hair, always styled perfectly...not a hair out of place. Condolences to her family. A life gone too soon.

Cliff so sorry to hear of Sharon's passing. Earl and I always enjoyed your company either at a car show or when you would stop by our beach house. Always with your dogs. We weren't surprised if you had a new one with you. Sharon loved her animals. Always sharing what she had been doing at the shelter. We will miss seeing her and her stories. May God's blessing be with you and your sons. She is an angel in heaven watching over all of you. If we can do anything for you please don't hesitate to call.
