September 21, 1951 - March 26, 2025
Our dear Sheila, always the best of us, passed away peacefully after a long respiratory illness on March 26, 2025, in Prince George, BC.
Born on September 21, 1951 in Calgary, Alberta Sheila is now reunited with her loving husband Murray Keith and sister Ellen Smith and is survived by her children Todd (Brenda) Johnson and Kristie (Hugh) Delwo and grandchildren Montana (Dane) Chapman, Morgan (Jack) Quiring, Jordis Delwo and Halle Delwo. Sheila is also survived by her siblings, Betty (John) Broderick, Bill Rhodes, Gerry (Minoska) Martin, Dolly Hilton, Penny Guise, Susan Reid, countless nieces and nephews and her extended British family Bernie (late Nigel) Wiggett and children.
Sheila’s life was filled with endless love and devotion for her family along with an unwavering passion for her career. She embarked on a fulfilling journey spanning over 25 years at UNBC from the groundbreaking opening ceremonies to her satisfying retirement. Throughout the summer months, Sheila enjoyed her time spent with family, many friends and a good book at her source of solitude – The Cabin at Stuart Lake, BC. This is where everyone gathered to share their stories, laughter and love of lake life.
Sheila, an accomplished professional, was always sharing, teaching, and passing on to all surrounded by her. Her wisdom, passion and strength was cherished and recognized as a key pillar of our family. Sheila was admired by everyone, whose love and wisdom will be missed and her unwavering belief in equality will continue to inspire.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Rest in peace - your strength and courage will live on in all of us.
