SHEILA LECLERC Suddenly at home on October 29, 2015, Sheila passed away peacefully. She was the seventh child of 12 born to Isaac and Margaret McNeilly. Sheila grew up in Manitoba and as a youngster she lived around the Dugald area. It was her daily job to fire up the wood burning stove to heat the one room school house. Sheila never divulged her age, so her birth information will remain a mystery. In the late 1950's she met Harvey LeClerc and in September, 1960, she became his bride. They resided all their married life in Transcona until Harvey passed away in 1990. Sheila remained in Winnipeg for a number of years, then relocated to B.C. to live with her sister Annie and family. She returned to Winnipeg after the death of Annie in 2009. She loved and cared for many pets over the years. Sheila is survived by her sister Margaret (Edison); her brother Mike (Ruby); and many nieces, nephews, in-laws and friends. We will say good-bye to Sheila, along with her nephew, Mickey, who predeceased her on August 29, 2015, on November 27, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. at the Norberry Community Club, 26 Molgat Ave., Winnipeg. We would appreciate it if anyone would like to share a story about Sheila. Laloo Sheila, we will miss you. Every family should have a Sheila.
