Sharon Ann Kontrabecki

Sharon Ann Kontrabecki, 74, of Havre de Grace, MD, passed away at home, surrounded by her family, on July 6, 2021. Born on February 12, 1947 in Niagara Falls, NY, she was the daughter of the late Joseph and Jennie (Wojton) Szczepanski. After graduating from high school, she attended cosmetology school and subsequently opened her own beauty salon. After moving to Bel Air, MD with her family in 1982, she pursued career paths in office management, medical office assistance, house cleaning, and nearly 2 decades of substitute teaching at Harford Tech High School in Harford County, MD before retiring.

Sharon’s most rewarding occupation was caring for her three daughters and six grandchildren. In addition to tending to her family, her interests included cruising, traveling, attending concerts, shopping, and relaxing on the beach in Ocean City, MD with her family. She was a talented organizer, cook, hostess, and crafter and encouraged her children and grandchildren to carry on the legacy.

Sharon will forever be remembered by her high school sweetheart and loving husband of 53 years, Philip; daughters Stacy Kontrabecki (Dennet Withington, Jr.) of Shelburne Falls, MA; Suzanne Taylor (Michael Taylor) of Abingdon, MD; and Nicole Kontrabecki (Christopher Dalton) of Havre de Grace, MD. Sharon will also be lovingly remembered by her six grandchildren, Ashley, Joshua, Brandon, Kendall, Gavin, and Eóghan. She is survived by her sister Sandra Szczepanski of Aberdeen, MD.
