With great sadness, the family of Sheila Marie
O’Callaghan, announce her passing at the Cape Breton
Regional Hospital on May 21st , 2019 surrounded by her loving family.
Born January 21, 1934 in Sydney. She was the daughter of
Jack Carroll and Agnes (Ferneyhough). Sheila is survived by her loving
husband of 63 years Emmett, and their 3 children. Emmett
(D’anne), Shauna (Terry) and Brian (Paula); her 5
grand-children, TJ (Melanie), Brendan (Janell), Sarah (Brennan),

several nieces and nephews. Sheila was predeceased by her parents, her
brothers John Carroll and Ron Lloyd; her sister Ivey Aldouse; and her
close friend and sister-in-law Lorraine
Carroll.
Sheila was a member of the Branch 12
Legion and in her earlier years curled, bowled and enjoyed
her «club» night playing cards with her friends. Sheila was
an avid curling and Eagles fan and liked nothing more then to curl up
on her corner of the love seat to watch curling or listen to the Eagle
games on the radio.
Sheila spent her summers on the Mira
River with her family; she always made sure everyone was
well fed and warm even if that meant making 6 different meals and
telling Emmett to to turn on the stove in the August heat to get
«the damp out» . Nanny
had a huge heart and would do anything for her children and
grand-kids . She also loved her dogs and always had treats
for any dog or stray cat that came
along.
Visitation will take
place Monday May
27th at Sydney Memorial Chapel from 7-9pm.
Funeral Mass will be held Tuesday May 28th
11am at St Theresa’s Church, with Rev.
Dennis Lamey officiating. Interment in Resurrection
Cemetery.
