Sheila fought a valiant battle with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Sheila was predeceased by her parents Laurence and Gladys Goodman. Survivors include her two daughters Susan (Brian) and Valerie, her granddaughter Caren (Shad) Morris and numerous first and second cousins. Sheila was born in Selkirk, MB, but she lived most of her life in Winnipeg. After graduating from Teachers College in 1959, she was a classroom teacher and later became a resource teacher after returning to university and completing her BEd. Sheila taught for 39 years. She taught many grades, inspired many young people and adult learners until retiring from teaching in 1999. Although Sheila may have retired, she never stopped being involved in life and the field of education. Sheila spent several years after retiring as a faculty advisor for student teachers from the U. of M. helping students reach their goals of becoming the next generation to inspire students. She also was a member of the Royal Winnipeg Ballets - Women's Committee and volunteered at Things Antiques And Gifts. Special thanks to all of Sheila's very good friends, to the warm and caring staff at the Grace Hospice, the Victoria General Hospital, and Home Care who helped support her through her illness and life.
