Grandma Sheila, I don’t know where to start . I unfortunately didn’t get to know you to your true potential due to circumstances . What I have heard and seen is that you were one amazing, smart, and a beautiful woman ! One thing we share in common that I will hold onto is the love we both share for Doberman’s . I will continue to share that passion and carry that on for both of us . I have and will always love you grandma and I’ll never forget about you . Rest easy love your grandaughter and your great grandchildren xo

I will miss Sheila. We had many conversations on the phone. shared laughs and our love of Dobermans. Sheila owned two of our dogs and loved them dearly. They miss you too. I will never forget you Sheila and will think of you with much love. I wish I had known you longer. Godspeed and rest easy. Deepest condolences to her family and friends everywhere.

My sympathy in your loss. I have so many pleasant memories over 3 decades working with and talking with Sheila in the staff room (108). In later times, she was so involved with the Dobermans.

Nancy and I never pass the house at the corner of Strathdee and Wincott without thinking of Sheila. She and the dogs were a neighbourhood fixture. many happy memories too, of our time as Richview Colleagues.
So sorry to hear of her passing. Peace to all who knew and loved her
