Sheila Edwards (19 Jan 1944 - 12 Apr 2022)

So sorry not to have been present on May 17th, Sheila. A difficult decision for us to make, but thanks to the webcast we were able to hear everything that was said about you.

So many memories for me, of Warren Avenue, with Mum, Dad, Pam, me and you, Sheila, a kind, loving sister. I was the spoiled young brother. The years passed, I went away to university, you were married to Noel, and a few years later I was married to Danièle.

We loved visiting your flat in Seaward Tower, Gosport, when we came to England to stay with Mum and Dad: such spectacular views! Then came the visits to Western Road and Luard Court, where we saw Catherine, Leon and Ross growing up, and you always made our children very welcome: Auntie Sheila, kind, affectionate. Memories of summer on the beach at Hayling Island or of Christmas, Mum and Dad still with us.

Sadly, the latter years were not as you or we had hoped. You were lost to family and friends. So let’s remember the last time we saw you, at Oak View, a very happy person, “dancing” in your armchair and singing along with the videos of some classic rock ‘n’ roll songs.

We’lll miss you Sheila.

From Jan and Mick.

Sadly missed. A truly dear friend. Love, Glyn xxx

We will miss you Mum, at least you’re united with Dad once again! Love always! XX

Fond and precious memories of all those past years, from all the Family xx

Fond memories of Sheila, our boys, Allan & Paul remained close friends with Leon & Ross throughout their school life, especially playing football. Sheila and I also played many games of Badminton together.

Rest in Peace Shiela. With love to all your family xx

Always remembered with love of all the great times we had together

Dear Sheila, we will miss you but we have fond memories of the lovely camping and narrow boating holidays we spent with our families.
Rest in peace, united with Noel.
