Obituary
Sheila Quigg (nee Fielding)
Sheila Mary Margaret Magdeline Maria Theresa Fielding, better known as Mom, Grandma, Toots, Auntie Sheila and Auntie Toots was born in St. Andrew’s Jamaica on March 23,1935 and came to Canada in 1953 to become a St. Michael’s Nurse (Class of ‘57). She was proud of her “St. Mike’s” service and developed many lifelong friends with her beloved classmates. She left the departure lounge on August 26, 2021 for a one way flight to the heavens.
Mom was predeceased by her husband Thomas (2019). She leaves behind her children Belinda, Mark (Alaine Debono) and Elizabeth (Ellis) Holmes and her grandchildren Abigail, Michael, Emily and Rosemary, her brother-in-law Frank (Ann) as well as many nieces and nephews. She was the youngest in her family and was predeceased by her 8 siblings. Dorothy, Helen, Charles, Richard, Clement, Edward, Joseph and John.
She was a force of nature and the heavens are rocking now that the youngest has finally arrived! I’m sure there’s a bottle of rum and one heck of a card game on the go. Mom loved her lottery tickets and the horses, but most of all she loved her Faith. She lived her Faith every day and instilled in all of us the core values we strive to achieve. She took her Faith wherever she went and attempted to open the eyes of the blind! She loved her Rosary and her Chaplet. She would say “With those” and “The Boss” “ALL things are possible”. She was beautiful, kind, generous and empathetic.
The Kaluki games will be missed as well as the Saturday night get-togethers. She left on her own terms on the phone with her best friend and sister-in-law, Olga Fielding. She was loved deeply and there’s a huge hole in our hearts that will not be filled any time soon. In mom’s memory, please feel free to raise a glass or play a little Harry Belefonte or Bill Haley and the Comets.
A private funeral mass and burial will take place. Please make donations to the Sisters of Life; Companions of the Cross; Chalice; St. Francis Table or a charity of your choice.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Sheila Quigg 2021..
