Growing up in rural England Sheila loved the outdoors. Many of you knew Sheila was a self-taught artist with a fondness for painting landscapes, some of which were successfully sold across Canada. Cross-country skiing and hiking with the 5th Dimension Outdoor Club was an important part of her lifestyle, and Sheila told me how much she missed being able to ski in recent times, nevertheless, still enjoying trips to the mountains by coach and shared friendships with other members of the club.

Gardening was a topic often discussed and with the expected arrival of spring, it was the season Sheila’s garden gave her the most pleasure. Auricular greeted visitors at the steps of her front walkway and a sizeable back yard provided tulips, narcissi, crocus and a variety of other colourful flowers.

With cherished memories to keep, we sadly say our ‘goodbyes’.
