Sheila Barnett of Calgary, AB, passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 2, 2020 at the age of 89 years.

Sheila was always active, doing things for others and creating community, whether it was weekly family meals, birthday parties and celebrations of every sort with family and friends, or volunteering at many different organizations including Girl Guides of Canada, the Catholic Women's League, Meals on Wheels, Carol Place and the Red Cross. Whenever she saw a need she helped out. She had Alzheimer's Disease for eighteen years. She successfully ignored it until she forgot about it. She remained fun loving and kind, making friends wherever she was. She was all about family and service to her church and community.

Sheila was deeply loved by many, and will be missed. She is survived by her sons Tom (Jayne) and Dan (Janice); daughter Jane (Doug), grandchildren, Nathan (Danielle), Matthew (Ashley), Jillian (Bowen), Clare and Eve; and her great-grandchildren Alexandra and William. Sheila was predeceased by her husband Bill. 

A Funeral Mass will be announced at a later date when people can gather once again. It will be a celebration of a life well lived. Condolences, memories and photos may be shared and viewed on Sheila’s obituary at www.McInnisandHolloway.com.
