CHINNER: Sheila Alice Chinner. Sheila passed away at Delwynda Court in Deloraine on Tuesday, November 12, 2013. Sheila Alice Knight was born August 3, 1934 in Hamiota, Manitoba. Sheila was the only daughter to William and Bertha Knight of Cardale, Manitoba. Sheila was a big sister to Wayne and younger brother Darrell. Sheila received her education at the Cardale School where she was active in 4-H. Sheila married Fred Chinner on December 10, 1952 in the Cardale United Church. Sheila was predeceased by her loving husband, Fred; parents William and Bertha Knight; Father and Mother-in-law, Frank and Elizabeth Chinner; sister in law Lorraine Chinner, Brothers in laws George Chinner and Bill Crossman and nephews Bobby Chinner and Trevor Knight. Left to mourn are Sheila’s daughter Marlene (Gord Cappelle); sons Barry (Sheila) and Dennis (Sylvia); three adored granddaughters Jennifer (Jason); Melody (Mickie); Ang (Bobby); and equally adored great grandchildren Kody, Adam, Madison, Jaren, Cole, Austin, and Bryce; brothers Wayne (Phyllis) Knight; Darrell (Barb) Knight, sister’s in law Norma Crossman and Sandra Knight as well as numerous nieces and nephews. When Fred and Sheila had free time from their busy work schedule, they made the most of it by square dancing. The snowstorms had to be pretty severe for them to cancel dancing. It was an expectation to accumulate thousands of miles on their vehicle square dancing over a winter. Once their dance party was home and had yet another lunch, it was not uncommon for their card parties to continue until the morning chores had to begin. They believed in working hard and playing hard after work. The family is comforted in knowing that the dance square is once again full, and the card playing will continue to dawn while Heaven celebrates.
