VALE SHARON JACKA
BY ALEX TILBURY
More than 500 people celebrated the life of the respected real estate agent at Albury Entertainment Centre recently after she lost her battle with cancer in July , aged 64 .
Daughter and Ray White Albury business owner , Andrea Lever said she was blessed with the best mum you could imagine who gave her and her late brother , Karl , the best life possible .
“ Everyone thought she was absolutely nuts , but she had belief in herself and it was the best decision she ’ s ever made . She did incredibly well as a sales agent and purchased Ray White Albury four years later . She taught me from a very young age that to achieve in life , you have to work hard ,” her proud daughter said .
She recalled the 10 years they spent growing up at the Balranald Caravan Park before the family made the big move to Albury in 1994 .
She said her mum ’ s strength and determination shone through in every decision she made .
Andrea said her mum was determined to give her and her brother every opportunity possible .
She always had determination in life and took another major risk by starting a brand new career in real estate at the age of 46 . She said her mum gave up a secure career managing an air conditioning business , which included a company car , Monday to Friday hours , with a set salary , to start working massive hours on commission .
