SHEILAGH MAE GEER (nee LAUDER) September 14, 1933 - October 17, 2018 With her family by her side, Sheilagh passed away peacefully on October 17, 2018. Left to mourn and carry on her spirit are her children, Kama (Chet), Rod, Moira (Dennis) and Angie, her grandchildren, Lisa (Luc), David (Brittany), Kaitlin (Mackenzie), Alex, Emilie, Aimee (Darrell), Carrie (Chris), Colleen, Colin and Melissa, great-grandchildren, Aden, Letty, Hannah, Keagan, Chase, Chella, Jaxon, Darryl and Brianna, and cousin Sal (Lyle). She was predeceased by her parents, Ken and Lu and husband Peter. Mom was passionate about all her interests, which were varied - opera, reading, cats, foreign films, Greece, Lapsang Souchong, wine, Leonard Cohen, Gordon Lightfoot, Howard Stern, Jeopardy, Stratford, Clear Lake and the old CBC radio to name a few. Above all, her biggest pride and joy was her family. Mom had a quick wit and entertained us all with her storytelling. Always the voice of reason, she taught us to be kind, non-judgemental and to do whatever made us happy. Despite her health challenges in recent years, Mom never complained and was always game for a trip downtown, home for Greek food and wine or anywhere else her kids would take her. Mom's outings would not have been possible without Bob, her bestie and chauffeur. The family cannot thank him enough. Special thanks to friends, Marilyn and Kathleen and all the staff from the Pine Falls Health Complex and home care teams. We are forever grateful for how you cared for Mom and allowed her to live the life she wanted. There will be a private celebration of her life well lived. If friends so desire, a memorial donation may be made to the Manitoba Opera or the Winnipeg Humane Society. Sure does love you mama. Say goodnight Gracie.

Your Mom was one of a kind. I remember just after we moved to Pine Falls we had friends of my folks visit and one of those visiting played the piano so we were having a bit of a party and sing a long and your Mom who loved music decided she was not going to miss out on this so she walked the 2 houses over to our place and invited herself in for the party. It was a fun evening. My condolences to you all at this sad time. - Posted by: YVONNE SUMMERS (Family Friend) on: Oct 30, 2018
