It is with deep sadness that we announce that Sheila Campbell passed away at Boundary Trails Health Centre on Thursday, August 22, 2024 surrounded by family.
Sheila was born on October 22, 1942 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to Helen (Leduc) & John Gilchrist. She was the 7th of 10 children. When she was 18 months old, the family moved to a farm south of Assiniboia, SK where she grew up.
She married Clayton Campbell in August 1962 in Taber, AB. From this union, in short order, came 4 children: Don, Dwain, Vicki, & Kevin. They moved their young family from Taber to Saskatoon to Guelph, ON eventually settling in Morden, MB in 1972.
Having completed her LPN training in Guelph, Sheila started her career at the Morden District General Hospital in February 1973 where she remained for 25 years. After retiring she worked at Salem Home & Genesis House in Winkler for many years. She was a hardworking compassionate nurse. Her patients were always very well cared for.
Sheila was a very talented seamstress who could sew anything from undergarments, jeans, suit jackets to winter coats, often without the benefit of a pattern. She sewed uniforms for coworkers & did sewing for the church. Even the grandchildren got to wear some of Nana’s creations, each item made with much love. Sheila also took up cross-stitching; beautiful pictures were proudly displayed in her home, each stitch meticulously placed creating a perfect picture. For 10 years she cross-stitched a picture yearly which she donated to the CWL for ticket raffles raising money for local charities.
After retiring Sheila travelled to many places around the world where she met a lot of nice people. She also enjoyed going to Harlingen Texas for several winters with her sister Dorothy & brother-in-law Charlie. Sheila was very active in her Catholic parish community. She was a member of the 3rd Order of Franciscans which she said helped her grow spiritually. She was a woman of faith, a good listener, a reliable friend & a good counsellor.
Sheila leaves to mourn her children Don (Rose), Dwain, Vicki (Garry), & Kevin (Lisa), 9 grandchildren & 3 great grandchildren. She also leaves behind her sisters Yvonne, Anne & Dorothy, many nieces & nephews & numerous friends. Rest in peace mom, nana, sister & friend.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Menzies Medical Centre are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
