Sheila L. Vines

Sheila was an absolutely wonderful, loving woman. When Sheila retired from BCFHT, I told her ‘boy am I going to miss your smile in the mornings’. Heaven has certainly gained an Angel and her and Norris are together again.
Deepest condolences to Sheila’s family & friends.

Sheila, you were truly one of a kind—such a sweet, compassionate, selfless person. I’m so happy I saw you a few months ago; I will cherish our talk and your big hug. We were so blessed to have you as a co-worker; you were the bright smile that greeted our patients. Sending my deepest condolences to your family and loved ones. I take comfort knowing you are back with Norris; I know how much you missed him, XOXO.

My Dearest Sheila: We first met through Natalie’s Gold & Glitter back in 1992 and made some incredible memories and had some amazing laughs way back then! I hold those memories dear to my heart. Fast forward to 9 years ago, and I am blessed enough to start working for the BCFHT and who do I literally bump into?? It was amazing to become reacquainted and I was once again able to appreciate your sense of humour, love for your friends and your work team/family. I’m grateful that that BCFHT brought us into each other’s lives. And I’m happy to have been witness to such an incredible partnership of love and understanding between you and Norris. I know he is holding you so tightly right now. You will be missed my friend. You left us far to early, but we all know that you are with your Norris and that gives us a bit of peace.

When I think of the days of you, me, Cheryl and Nat… one thing that always puts a smile on my face was how no on but us knew what it meant when we referred to each other as the Lucy’s . It’s a cherished memory that I will hold dear. Always.

my sincerest condolences with sympathy, remembering Sheila to her friends and family.

We were very sorry to hear about Sheila’s passing. A number of things come to mind when remembering her.

Sheila’s smile could light up a room. As the youngest in the family, no doubt that smile got her out of some tricky situations.

Sheila also had a contagious laugh that made you want to be part of the joke or funny story that she was sharing.

One time Norris had a matinee performance in London, ON. I went to meet Sheila and Norris to
spend some time with them.

The afternoon was pure pleasure listening to the beautiful voice of Norris and then spending time over dinner catching up on the latest events in our lives.

That afternoon will always be a happy memory for me.

May Sheila rest in peace. May the wonderful memories of her be a comfort to her family.

My heartfelt condolences to Sheila’s family .
Sheila was a truly wonderful person and I feel so privileged to have worked with her . Always smiling, cheerful and ready to help , Sheila was a selfless and kind soul .
I will cherish the memories from over the years working together . She is gone but certainly never will be forgotten. She is in Norris’s arm once again.

Sheila was a wonderful soul. Every time I came into the office and saw her she always had a smile and was very welcoming.

Rest in Peace Sheila, I’m sure everyone will be thinking of you.

I knew Sheila only one year. She was my first neighbor in Canada. Sheila always had smile on her face. She was a wonderful woman. It was nice to meet you.

When I first met Sheila and Norris, my impression was of two people who seemed to enjoy each other’s company much that they had to remind themselves that the rest of us were there! Theirs was a true love story.
We will always remember Sheila, and miss her, but can find comfort in knowing that she is now where she wants to be

My dear friend Mary, I am so very sorry for your loss. I know how close you and Sheila were and understand her passing comes with mixed emotions. I will miss Sheila’s laughter and the many kindnesses she showed to myself over the years. May we all find some comfort knowing Sheila and Norris are together again. Love and hugs to you and your family. Your friend always…JC.

To my Lynch cousins: The news of Sheila’s death came as a shock. I knew her only as a child but from the memories I’ve read, she still had her big smile as an adult.
Tho’ I can’t be there, please know that each of you are in my heart and on my mind as you grieve Sheila’s passing.

I am Sheila’s cousin on the Lynch side of her family, and I last talked to her three months ago in Hamilton, at the wake for my sister’s husband (Anne and Ern). Over the years, I always talked with her at Lynch family weddings and funerals, and I met Norris a few years ago (along with my wife Maureen and children Christiane and Michaela), and I am glad that they were so happy together for so long. Also, for many years, I had lengthy annual Christmas phone calls with Sheila’s mother, Eileen, and she kept me up to date on major events in Sheila’s life. In reading the other condolences, I can, as someone who knew her when we were both children in Alliston, say that I too always thought of her as a very kind person. My condolences to her brothers and sisters and other relatives, and to her friends.

I only recently met Sheila. She was sweet and kind and I really enjoyed working with her.

One thing that really resonated with me was the way she spoke about her husband. She spoke of him with such love and devotion.

My condolences to her family. So very sad.

Sheila, you are a wonderful, amazing person and you will be missed. Though I only knew you through work for a few years, I saw you every day and I really apricated the chats that we had with each other. You were the first person I met when I came to work at the FHT and I am glad I got that time with you. Rest in Peace and my thoughts are with your family and friends.

I am a long time patient of theBarrie Family Health Team Dietician team. When I visited the office for my appointments, Sheila was always there with her friendly smile and friendly attitude as I reported in to see my dietician Lynn A.Lynn was the one who told me of Sheila’s passing. My condolences go out to her Family and friends. With Deepest Sympathy. Janis Craig

Dear Sheila,

I’m still having difficulty accepting your passing. The great times we shared and memories I take forward are forever there to draw upon when I reflect on you and your wonderful attitude and zest for life. I hope you and Norris are back in each other’s arms, enjoying the love you shared well here.

Your friend,

John

I just don’t know what to say. Sheila and Norris were great friends to everyone, I met Norris many years ago doing sound for him. Right beside him was the love of his life – Sheila. They were always so happy together. We loved the visits at our shop, Sam was called the brains by Norris. Sam did all of Norris’s audio mixing. Sheila and I were supposed to meet for lunch a few times, but my schedule got in our way. I am so sorry that I missed seeing Sheila more since Norris passed. Her heart was broken when Norris left this world. Now they are together again and they left so many broken hearts behind.

Sheila, you will be missed by so many. Just as we miss Norris. You are now together for ever. Sorry we didn’t get to have our lunch..

The world has lost a great couple and friends to so many. My heart breaks for their families and all those others left behind.

I am so sad to hear about Sheila’s passing. I always enjoyed seeing and chatting with her and Norris. 2 wonderful people who blessed my heart. I will never forget you both. Xoxoxox. Thinking of all family and friends during this time.

Dear Sheila,
I am sure you have found a peaceful place with Norris.
You will be remembered as a wonderful, and sweet person.
I will miss talking with you over the phone.
