We grieve the loss of Sheila who was a gentle, gracious and caring friend. When Hospice Calgary was a fledgling organization and I a staff member, Sheila became a volunteer and her service subsequently extended to Rosedale Hospice for close on a couple of decades where she would work at reception over weekends when no one else was available.
We enjoyed a 35 year friendship together with memories of days spent at the Millarville cabin with Jack; shared birthday events and many Sunday dinners with a group of friends, all now around 90 years of age. Sheila spoke often of her nursing days, her childhood in India; the love she had for her nieces, and her faith which we shared. It was this faith that sustained her in times of difficulty and decline.
Shirley and Donald Gordon
