Sheila was one of the most generous and caring people I have known…always doing for others. Some of my favourite memories include our shared love of storytelling, esp. in a small group telling our own family stories, and also the five minute rides in her car from Foodland to my house on those days we happened to meet at the grocery and she would offer me a ride home. I feel so blessed by having Sheila as a friend, and I truly miss her. Sheila will live in my heart and inspire me to be a better, more loving person.

Till the very last moment i was hoping to be with you on Saturday, October 21 for the celebration of life. However the distance is just too great.
It was with great sadness, Bill, Ashleigh and Tamera that i learned (via Switzerland!) of Sheila's passing. An amazing person - for her close family, for her friends and colleagues and for her more distant family. For the past twenty years, since the death of my parents (Howard and Claire-Marie) Sheila would (hand)write a short New Year's note, keeping me abreast of family news, St. Marys news, little anecdotes... Occasionally we would talk on the phone - as i know she did with my sister. A great loss.
My best to you all under the circumstances. It is a celebration of Sheila's like that is merited. A life well lived. For a person who was well loved.

Our condolences to Sheila’s family and to all who knew her. Sheila touched many lives with her kind, giving, selfless way. Doing more than many of us could imagine and we likely only knew the half of it. She will be missed.

Family of Sheila Greason
My family was so lucky to have had Sheila as their teacher at Plover Mills so many years ago. Both Becky and Chris Durnford talk about her all these years later as their favourite teacher. Her caring ways and generous nature were outstanding. Becky has been a teacher for over nineteen years and many of her attributes in the classroom I am sure came from Sheila. What a wonderful memory she has let both for her former students and her community

I came to know Sheila for her involvement with the Tri County Foodgrains growing project. Using an acre of her own land, she organized volunteers from several area churches to grow onions, potatoes and squash and then spent time selling them at the farmers market. I visited once at the market on a cold, wet October day. She was there with her crew, cheerful as ever, glad to be doing good for someone else. That epitomizes Sheila - always happy to see you, always cheerful, always thinking of others. She was a remarkable lady and will be missed by her friends, family and community and by us at Canadian Foodgrains Bank.

We remember that Sheila loved working with children and youth whether through her service as a dedicated Primary School teacher or as a long time member of Camps Bimini and Tanner. Sheila contributed her talents to welcoming first time campers or mentoring campers who grew up to become committed Staff members for the camps she worked with for so many years. Sheila will always be remembered for her working faith in a loving and caring God. Now she is at rest and peace free from ever again having to use that handy cane.

Sheila was a very special lady whom I met through W.I. Her leadership skills were top notch. She was both a thoughtful leader and a listener at the same time. She skillfully left all contributors to any discussions feeling validated for what they said. I will always remember that as well as her happy and welcoming nature. She will be missed by all .

Stephanie Hutton and I taught Sunday School at East Nissouri Union Church with Sheila over the past 10 to 15 years. She was an example on how to live a life of service. She never got side-tracked by her own needs. Whether she was organizing “get well” cards to little boys that broke their fingers at recess, driving people to their different appointments because they had no vehicles to get there themselves, or taking people out to lunch or ice cream, Sheila did it all with a smile. I wonder if it is possible to know about all those lives that she influenced or assisted. I was with Sheila a couple of times over the past few weeks encouraging to get help for herself. I wish now that I had saved my breath and told her that I loved her and that I appreciated all that she has done for all of us. One of my most lasting memories of Sheila will be her closing prayer every Sunday with the children: “Dear Lord, help me to remember with every passing day that people will see Jesus in the things we do and say.” Mari Veliz

Sheila was such a special person who had time to help anybody and everybody. Her unfailing good humour was always a positive contribution. I was lucky enough to be part of Sheila's family as well, so we had special times over the years.
Sheila's love of cats is another thing that I share with her. Sheila didn't just care for humans, she loved and provided for many cats. As is always the case when two cat lovers get together, we shared our joy over our feline families as well.
I'll miss you Sheila. Rest in Peace.

Sorry to say that I was frustrated lately with Sheila as I wanted her to relax and pamper herself just a little bit in her final days. Even trying to call me instead of an ambulance was frustrating but also heart warming at the same time. She died the way she wanted, fighting the good fight until the very end. I will miss her.

Sheila was community builder and connector between people. In her death so many people are offering condolences. Many of them are from people that we have completely lost touch with. Dave Anderson made some comments about Sheila that ring so true for me. The store in Uniondale is long gone but through Sheila I read a few words from a man who grew up there. Thank you Sheila for inspiring all of us to be more accepting and loving people.

Sheila was an amazing lady. Her energy, patience, kindness, compassion, and her constant smile will be missed by countless people in her community of organizations and friends. When something needed doing either she did it or encouraged someone to do it. It was difficult to say "no" to Sheila and not many did. She made you believe in yourself. A true lady who will be missed.

I was very fortunate to be a student in grades 7 and 8 of Sheila's first teaching position at SS#4 East Nissouri school. She was without question the best teacher I had during my school education. On my graduation from public school I received a personal note of encouragement from her as I entered the next phase of my life. I still have that note from a teacher that cared that much for her students. Over the years I would see her serving lunches at the church and she would always speak kind words to me and show an interest in my life and that of my family.
When Sheila retired we lost a compassionate and caring teacher, a truly great educator. Think of the classrooms of students over the decades that Shelia has educated. Now the community has lost a dedicated volunteer, a leader in community organizations, and a supporter of children and adults through the church and Sunday School. RIP Sheila and may you be recognized for your lifetime of commitment.

I didn't know Sheila well. She was a teacher at Plover Mills School where my daughters attended. But whenever I saw her and the few times we met I was impressed with her warm, caring and outgoing spirit. I know how she gave of her time to others unselfishly even as she got older. Whenever she crossed my mind her example inspired me. Now that she's passed on to her reward and her Saviour she will remain in my mind as an icon of someone who lived wholeheartedly and beautifully for her Lord. Thank you, Sheila!

Dear Family:
I always remember Sheila smiling and positive about life.
I had many occasions of seeing her at camp over the years, both with my daughters and as a kitchen helper.
I visited Camp Tanner this year, but didn’t see her. My memories of her are precious and I will truly miss her.
Know that she was an angel here on earth and will continue to be an angel in heaven.
My most sincere sympathy!

Sheila knew just where to find me when a "rash" of stinging nettles occurred! She was a warm hearted, generous, community minded working Christian with a heart of gold.
