SHEILA SVEINSON
It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of Sheila Sveinson, at the Grace hospital, following a courageous battle with cancer.
Sheila is survived by her nephew Chase Sveinson and wife Amber; her niece Michelle Severson and her children, Jordyn, Ryder and Trace; her sister-in-law Debbie Gottfried and husband Bryan; best friend and soul sister Serena Rigby and her mother Elaine Fitzpatrick (Sheila’s second mom); her other soul sister, Laura Mulvaney; as well as, many more friends that Sheila held close in her heart.
Sheila grew up in Fort Garry, the youngest of four children and the only daughter. Sheila cherished her brothers, Grant, Bruce and Paul (estranged) and had a special relationship with each of them.
In her youth, Sheila could be found at the ice rink, skating and playing ringette; at the Wildewood Club and in the summer enjoying vacations in Ponemah. Following Bruce into the glass business, Sheila spent her career at various plants throughout the city.
Sheila was predeceased by her parents, Lincoln and June Sveinson; brothers, Bruce and Grant.
We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to the health care team that provided Sheila with outstanding care: Dr Nicole Wiens; Hajra Mirza; the doctors and staff of 3N and 3S at the Grace hospital; Gimli Home Care nurses and support; and, her CancerCare Manitoba team - Drs Chowdhury, Banerji and Altman and their nurses, the support team - Manvir and especially Arielle, who Sheila had a very special relationship with.
In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, donations may be made to CancerCare Manitoba https://www.cancercarefdn.mb.ca/
