Shela was a courageous and compassionate person, with a zest for life. A consummate shopper, Shela had lifelong interests in fashion, tailoring, design, reading, and the culinary arts. She was a ball of energy with a strength, determination and sense of humour, which she brought to her relationships and career alike. Shelas career in office management included many years at Metropolitan Properties, and in both Winnipeg and Toronto often reflected her creative interests, including work in furs, audio-visual production, and most recently at the Manitoba Theatre for Young People. Shela absolutely loved childrens theatre and her work at MTYP, where she was instrumental in helping to achieve their goal of a new building. She was especially fond of Ron Burketts puppetry show "Old Friends". Shela was herself an "old friend" and is lovingly remembered and dearly thanked fT Yorkton, Saskatchewan. A gathering of her friends will take place in Winnipeg at a later date. Contributions in Shelas memory can be made to MTYP or CancerCare Manitoba.
