I first met Sheila in Palmerston North, when she was an able reporter on the Manawatu Standard. She made a great contribution in many walks of life. I still have her car that I bought when her eyesight was failing. Haere ra, dear Sheila.

We had 40 years of wonderful friendship with Sheila.
When visiting her at Parkwood Village we would reminisce on our Limousin days and staying at the farm at Feilding.
She was so interested in everything including our family.
We will miss our visits but at 98 years she has lived a very full and active life.
Our sympathy to the family.
