I’m late to add this. Sheila was a shining star. My second Sheila….next to me mum, but she always treated me like her child. I miss her dearly. She was caring and even helped me out of a tree when I got stuck. I love you!

So very sorry to hear of Sheila's passing. She was so warm and welcoming when I first visited the US on my own about 20 years old. She invited me to stay during that Easter Break and made me feel part of the family, which I never forgot. The second time we met was when I re-visited with my husband and eldest son nearly 10 years later. She again welcomed us all and made us feel at home (even with a small toddler running around) and it felt as if those 10 years hadn't even passed. Love to Michael and the rest of her family & friends. I am sure she will be very much missed. you are in our thoughts Jane, Will, Joshua & Alexander Rothery (Joan & David's niece & family)

Sheila and Mike were the first friends I made after emigrating from England way back in the late 50's. Loved Sheila's wicked sense of humor and they were always the life of any party. When I moved to another State, my brother and his wife Chris became close friends with them. Sheila was full of life and fun to be around. I will always remember her. She will be missed by all who knew her.

I met Sheila and Michael about 25 years ago. She was such a gracious and elegant lady, full of life and a bit of mischief Sheila And Michael attended many of the concerts I’ve done at my church in Riverside, Connecticut it was always such a joy to see them there. I’m so sorry for your loss and mine

So many fond memories of Sheila as a second Mom and a great friend. Sheila alway's had a great sense of humor. So many funny stories and great wit. Sheila was alway's open minded and a great listener never judgemental in any way. Alway's welcoming to the home a great chef and marvelous hostess. Sheila alway's made things come to life from her interior design, garden's and gown's for school play's she really appreciated special. Making everything special and making people special. I miss her very much.

I met Sheila& Michael shortly after my husband & I arrived in the USA in 1958 which was the start of a long friendship. Sheila & I had children around the same time, we often exchanged ideas & advice. Sheila decided one day my name was too long so she shortened it to Chris, I've been chris ever since. Our families spent every Thanksgiving & Christmas together for many years, Sheila & I always managed to burn the topping on sweet potato dish, it became a standard joke between us for years to come. Sheila taught me how to make Yorkshire pudding over the phone one day when I was desperate & had no recipe. Sheila was a clever fashion designer and always had great parties, she was a wonderful hostess. Our families vacationed together in Gloucester Ma., it was always fun & full of surprises. I will miss her wit & phone calls reminiscing about wonderful old memories. Deepest sympathy with sincere condolences to Michael, Chris, Sarah & their families. Much love to you all. Chris Jones
