VALA REVA FAITH SHELEMY
Vala peacefully departed the morning of January 14, 2022, from the Selkirk Mental Health Centre after a valiant battle with end-stage Alzheimer's.
Vala was 50 and was predeceased by her father Harry Shelemy. She leaves behind her mother Roseanne and siblings, Guy, Steve (Celine), Tanya (Danny) and Tracy (Brian). Vala loved babysitting her six nephews, Ryan, Levi, Braden, Matthew, Ethan, Edwin and her niece Elise. Aunty Vala was a willing playmate for them with unlimited patience.
Vala arrived in Winnipeg Misericordia Hospital on February 4, 1971 as the fourth child to parents Harry and Roseanne Shelemy of St. Andrews, Manitoba. Vala was born with Down Syndrome which gave her a special place in the family and she touched the hearts of many during her lifetime. To summarize those who were closest to her: "Vala's sweet soul will be dearly missed".
Funeral services are being arranged through Gilbart Funeral Home in Selkirk, Manitoba.
Condolences can be left on Vala's tribute wall at www.gilbartfuneralhome.com
