Sheila was born in Sarina where she spent her childhood and early years. She was the loving daughter of the late Jean Dorothy McKean and the late Ross Thomas Symington.
She was wife to her beloved and devoted husband Bruce and a loving sister to her brother Tom Symington and his wife Susan. Sheila will be sadly missed by all her family and her many friends.
When Sheila and Bruce moved to Thornhill in 1970, Sheila was an integral part of creating the Thornhill Newcomers Association, which to this day, is still in place and thriving in the community. Along the way, with the creation of this club, she also established and developed many lifelong and lasting friendships.
She became a very active member of the Golf and Curling activities at the Thornhill Club. She was the ladies Captain of the Valley course and then later, ladies Captain of the Championship course. As well, she was very involved in all aspects of many of the Club’s social activities and it was always her primary objective to ensure that everyone had the best possible experience at the events she participated and helped organize.
Sheila also loved to cook and she was an attentive and charming hostess. Her guests would always rave about how delicious and creative her culinary presentations were.
Sheila especially adored her many friends whom she would call on a regular basis just to chat and to share delightful and inspiring stories. Above all, Sheila always wanted to make sure her friends were OK, and it was her mission in life to make sure they were.
Sheila was a ray of sunshine and her warmth and the many fond memories of her, will give her friends and family much comfort.
The family wishes to thank all the medical staff in the ICU at Mackenzie Health and CICU at Southlake Hospital.
As an expression of sympathy and in lieu of flowers, memorial donations to a charity of your choice in Sheila’s name would be appreciated by the family.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday May 10, 2024 at The Thornhill Club, 7994 Yonge Street, Thornhill, Ontario at 1 pm. Kindly RSVP by May 03 to [email protected].
