Sheila died on April 27th, 2019 at Innisfree Hospice. Predeceased by her husband, Michael Valentine, and their eldest son, Simon, and all but one of her siblings, Phyllis. Loving mother of Simon Paul, Christopher Anthony, Stephen Roland, and Caroline Ashley. Grandmother of 12 and Great-grandmother of 10 children.
She will be deeply missed, but her family and many friends will take solace in the fact that her life was truly well-lived. She was a pillar of the community and supported many charities, but her greatest accomplishment was Lisaard House, the first residential hospice in the Waterloo Region.
Cremation has taken place and a private service will follow. A celebration of Sheila’s life will be held at a later date.
Special thanks to Maria, Gillian, and the staff of Innisfree for the loving care given to Sheila as she took her final journey. In lieu of flowers, donations to Lisaard house would be greatly appreciated.
