Sharon Ann Nickerson-Kroeker (née Deveau)

Nov 30, 1953 — Aug 21, 2026

Sharon Ann Nickerson-Kroeker, affectionately known as Chey, was born on November 30, 1953, in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. She passed away unexpectedly but peacefully on August 21, 2026, at Foothills Hospital in Calgary, Alberta, surrounded by her loving family. Chey was the beloved daughter of Florence and Benoit Deveau, who predeceased her, and she carried their love and values with her throughout her life.

Chey is survived by her devoted husband and soulmate, Larry Kroeker, who was her partner in life and love. Together, they created a warm and nurturing home filled with laughter, the love of nature, memories and music. Chey was a proud mother to her three sons, Christopher (Melissa) of Fort St. John BC, Daniel (Susie) of Morinville AB, and Dylan of Yarmouth, NS. She cherished her role as a mother and took immense joy in watching her sons grow into the remarkable men they are today.

In addition to her sons, Chey was a loving stepmother to Larry's children, Scott (Kristine) Ryan (Lisa) and Richard (Robyn), embracing them as her own and fostering a family bond that will endure.

Her heart expanded even further with 23 beautiful Grandchildren whom she loved and adored, Wade, Morganna, IsaBella, Melania(Daniel), Christopher Jr, Jade, Michael, Angela, Abby, Jonny, Kaylee (Rhett), Kaden, Kora, Mason, Leigh, Rio (Kiera), Austin, Saphrina, Lilliana, Jessah, and Jemma. Chey was recently so blessed and proud to welcome and love her great-grandchildren, Roanan, to Melaina & Daniel, and Jackson, to Angela & James.

Chey was also a cherished sister to Nancy Macisaac (Mike) of Hebron, NS. Their bond was a source of strength and comfort, and they shared countless memories that will forever be etched in their hearts.

A talented musician, Chey had a passion for the arts that resonated deeply within her soul. Music was not just a hobby; it was a language through which she expressed her emotions and connected with others. She had a unique ability to bring joy to those around her with her melodies, and her love for animals was evident in her gentle spirit. Chey found solace in nature, whether it was exploring the majestic mountains or standing by the ocean, where she felt a profound connection to the world around her.

Chey was also an avid traveler and photographer, capturing the beauty of life through her lens. Her photographs tell stories of adventure, love, and the simple joys that life has to offer. She had an adventurous spirit, always eager to explore new places and create lasting memories with her family.

Chey’s passing has left a void in the hearts of all who knew her. Her sudden departure is a reminder of the fragility of life, but her legacy of love, kindness, and creativity will continue to inspire those she leaves behind. She passed away surrounded by her family, a testament to the love and bonds she nurtured throughout her life.

In honour of Chey, a Celebration of Life will be held at the Longview Hall on Saturday, September 12, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Family and friends are invited to come together to share stories, laughter, and tears as they remember the beautiful soul that Chey was.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Oilfields General Hospital, Foothills Hospital and Rocky View hospital for their compassionate care during Chey’s final days. Your kindness made a difficult time a little more bearable.

As we say goodbye to Sharon Ann Kroeker, let us remember her as a woman who embraced life with open arms, who loved fiercely, and who left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her spirit will live on in the music she created, the love she shared, and the memories we will cherish forever.
