Sharon Elizabeth Veach Obituary (1937

Sharon was born in Kitsap County to Albert and Hannah (Ekstedt) Bull. She and her two sisters spent their youth in Port Orchard before moving to Poulsbo where Sharon attended North Kitsap Schools. Sharon met Ronald Veach, her one true love, as a teenager and they were married in 1955. Sharon and Ron raised their four children on a small farm in Belfair; they were married 54 years. After raising their family, Sharon and Ron served as missionaries to Mexico and the Philippines for 22 years. She was dedicated to providing food, clothing, and musical instruments to the villages in which they ministered. Sharon truly lived her life for the sake of Jesus Christ. Sharon passed into glory surrounded by family. She was a faithful and devoted wife, mother and friend. Her beautiful singing filled church services with praise and worship. She wrote heartfelt poetry, and created beautiful embroidery. In her pre-missionary life, she was a dedicated member and leader at Full Gospel Assembly in Gorst, WA. After retiring, she enjoyed attending her grandson's church and listening to gospel hymns. She will be missed by all. Sharon is survived by her sister, Gloria Hansen, her children Patrick (Patricia) Veach, Bradley (Jeanne) Veach, Suzanne (Raymond) Ramirez, and Scott (Susan) Veach, 10 grandchildren and many great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her sister Geraldine Watts, her grandson Steven Brillhard, and her husband Ronald Veach. A heartfelt thanks to the staff at Multicare Home Health & Hospice, as well as the staff and friends at the Pearl on Oyster Bay where Sharon lived her last two years. There will be a graveside service on Saturday, September 17th at 1pm at Twin First Cemetery in Belfair, WA.
