Sharon Guiler

Sharon Guiler passed away peacefully at Origin at Spring Creek on November 10, 2026, at the age of 87. Sharon was the beloved wife of Tim Guiler for more than 62 years. She will be lovingly remembered for her caring heart, her gifted hands and her devotion to her family.

Sharon was the daughter of William Royden Mullin and Evelyn Margaret Mullin (née Burnett). She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Saskatchewan and went on to a long and caring career as a Registered Nurse in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec. Wherever life took her, she brought comfort and compassion to those in her care. Her various work locations were the result of being the wife of a soldier. Her strength was demonstrated on numerous occasions when family moves across Canada and outside Canada were necessary… 20 moves in 35 years!

Sharon’s creativity was a joy to everyone who knew her. She was a quilter of great talent and a proud member of the Mountain Cabin Quilters Guild. Her quilts were made with patience and love. She also made beautiful teddy bears, and they brought smiles to many. Sharon loved being active and social. She was a keen golfer with the Canmore Golf and Curling Club, and a member of the Canadian Snowbird Association.

Sewing was a lifelong pursuit, starting with 4H projects in her youth, moving on to sewing clothes for her children, and then on to the quilts for which she was known, as well as pillowcases and place mats. Knitting was also a passion for many years before the quilts took over her creative talents. She made beautiful Icelandic sweaters for her girls as teenagers, and their friends loved them so much that she ended up making sweaters for all of their friends as well! Her family will be cuddled by Sharon’s sweaters, blankets and quilts for many years to come which is a comfort.

Sharon was also the best cook. She loved to host dinners and gatherings, and always had extra friends and family around her dinner table. She made the best apple pies… the absolute best.

Sharon will be deeply missed by her husband, Tim; her daughter, Vona Guiler (Phil Veldhuis) of Starbuck, MB; her son, Derek Guiler of Montreal, QC; her cherished grandchildren, Timothy Veldhuis of Dublin, Ireland, and Jayna Veldhuis of Starbuck, MB; her brother, Darryl Mullin of Morden, MB and her sister-in-law Andrea Guiler Mitchell of Vancouver, BC. She is also remembered by nieces and nephews and many extended family members and dear friends. Nana will be remembered by Timmy and Jayna as the most devoted supporter of their adventures – Timmy’s music and travels, and Jayna’s sports and studies. Whenever Timmy played the fiddle, Sharon would often say how it would remind her of her dad. Her grandchildren will remember summer holidays in the mountains and winter trips to California, and they sleep with Nana’s homemade blankets and quilts every night, feeling her love.

Sharon was predeceased by her parents, William and Evelyn Mullin; her older sister, Dorothy Angus (née Mullin); and her oldest daughter, Arlana Guiler.

A private family service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in Sharon’s memory may be made to the Canmore Hospital Foundation https://www.canmorehospitalfoundation.com/donate. The family would like to thank the medical and support staff of the Acute Care Wing of the Canmore Hospital for their care and compassion during Sharon’s stay in hospital. We would also like to thank the Origin staff for their outstanding assistance during Sharon’s last days.
