Sheila Grace Bentley

She was born in Victoria, BC where she lived until the early 1960s when she relocated to the Vancouver area, and eventually settled in the Edmonton area in 2013.

She is survived by a sister Ilene; 2 sons: Rick (Janice) and Kerry (Anne); daughter Tracey (Rob); 9 grandchildren: Jim, Sharlene (Fabrizio), Kori (Kevin), Steven (Brittany), Kira (Doug), Darren (Shania), Scott (Jules), Becky, and Paul (Jaiden) as well as 10 great-grandchildren!

Sheila was predeceased by an infant son Wayne; her parents Grace and Henry; brother Melvin and most recently in 2012, her husband Sidney of 65 years.

Sheila lived a full life with an adventurous spirit. She devoted her early life to raising strong children, working outside the home only as the need arose. Sheila and Sid loved camping and travelling in their RV, making numerous trips in their retirement around western Canada and south into the northwestern states. She will be remembered fondly for her spicy personality, with a cigarette in one hand and a half glass of wine in the other.

As per Sheila’s wishes, a private family service will be held at a later date.
