Sheila was a beautiful soul and her bright spirit and warm heart touched each and every person and animal that crossed her path. She spent her life caring for others both as a nurse and nursing home companion, and her compassion for all living creatures was endless. She loved to travel and visit new places and she went on many wonderful trips with friends and family over the years.
Sheila will be remembered and loved always by her husband Richard Weatherill, her twin daughters Danielle Smith (Jason) and Marika Smith, her granddaughters Kenzie and Piper, her sister-in-law Lauraine Derman and niece Michelle Derman.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, June 9, 2018 from 9-11am at Abkhazi Gardens, 1964 Fairfield Road, Victoria, BC.

So sorry to hear of Sheila’s passing. We worked side by side at Ballet Victoria for a number of years. We talked about cats and music and dance every time. Sheila was a lovely caring soul and she will be missed by all those who knew her great big heart. My condolences to her family.
I am so saddened to hear of Sheila’s passing. I worked at Ballet Victoria with her as a volunteer and then as the Coordinator. Sheila was an absolute delight to see each and every show. She was a compassionate and loving soul. Her warmth and her laughter and her quirky style will forever have a place in my heart. Sincerest love to her family from my family.
Sandy and I were so saddened to hear of Sheila’s passing. The three of us were long time volunteers with Ballet Victoria and we were always greeted by Sheila with caring and a genuinely warm embrace. It was always a pleasure to see her and at the last performance we reminisced about the early days of cleaning up after the dance events at the old Truth Center. Sheila always talked about her involvement with her family and her obviously rewarding work as a caregiver.
She was a classy and stylish lady. We will truly miss her and send our thoughts and condlences to her family and friends.
Sheila and I worked together at the Jubilee Hospital, when the CCU (Coronary Care Unit) was in its start up stage. We met occasionally at School Alumni Lunches, and caught up on Kids and Grand Kids.
I was driving on Veterans Way last month when I saw her sitting at a Bus Stop. I parked the car and we chatted again for a few minutes. I am so glad to have had that short visit with her. Yes a lovely Lady, with a sense of the ridiculous. I am glad to have known her.
My deepest sympathy to you her Family. You are the better for having her in your life.
Dear Rick Marika and Danielle, can’t tell you how sorry Brian and I are for the Loss of Sheila such a beautiful caring person. I’m sure she is already getting her Cat Condo’s organized and feeding all the stray cats in Heaven. Love & Hugs to you all Sally & Brian xx
