She loved to travel, and took many adventurous holidays, both with Colin, and in recent years, independently. In 2004 she traveled to Egypt, fulfilling a lifelong desire. Sheila's infectious sense of humour, love of life, and generous spirit touched everyone she came in contact with. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
