Obituary for Sheila Cunningham
On the 14th of May, 2019, Sheila Dorothy Cunningham (Née Flett) passed peacefully in her room at Allendale Long Term Care Facility (Milton, Ontario), with family at her side.

She is survived by two daughters, Geraldine and Heather and by her son James; Grandchildren Douglas, Margery, Lindsay (Joey), James (Stephanie); Great-Grandchildren Connor, Nicholas and Aurora; Sister-in-Law Joan and Nephew Stephen; and Son-in-Law Donald.
Sheila was selflessly and steadfastly devoted to her family, friends and community and used her many talents, in thoughtful and mindful ways, to give joy, comfort, support and affirmation to those around her. She was an example of how to live with dignity, integrity, humility and faith and how to approach life with curiosity, creativity and a sense of adventure. She was a true blessing and will be greatly missed.
