Sheila worked for many years as a PSW with Cheshire and Town and Country Support Services, providing compassionate care for everyone she worked with. Anyone who knew Sheila knew she was a huge animal lover; her favourites being dogs and cats, and over the year owning many different types of animals. Sheila was known to have quite the green thumb, growing the most beautiful gardens. Her love for plants didn’t stop outside in the yard as her sunroom eventually turned into a green house where she could enjoy the beauty of her plants.
Visitation will be held at Haskett Funeral Home, 87 Goderich St W, SEAFORTH on Tuesday, April 29th from 10:00 – 11:00 AM, where Sheila’s memorial service will be held at 11am. Cremation to follow, interment Elma Center Cemetery.
Donations to Alzheimer Society Huron Perth would be appreciated by the family.
