On Friday, September 26, 2025, at 92, Shelagh (née Quelch) Stevenson died as she lived: peacefully, without fuss, and on her own terms. Much loved by her late parents, Stephen and Kathleen (née Marshall); late husband, Jack; daughter, Melanie Stevenson and son-in-law, Roger Gillott; grandchildren, Emma and Eleanor; siblings, the late Fay and survived by her brother, Marshall; and many other relatives and friends. Beneath her unassuming manner lay iron integrity, a quirky wit, multiple creative gifts, a dedication to family and community service, and a talent for long and loyal friendship. We'll miss you, Mum.
