Lake. Family and friends enjoyed lots of meals and parties at the Lake
including the Lions Club.
A proud 50-time blood
donor, volunteering with numerous organizations including Fidelis
House, Kentville and Soldiers Memorial Hospital, Middleton, kept her
very busy in retirement.
Most of her married
years she lived in New Minas until moving to Fundy Villa and then
Grand View Manor, Berwick. A woman of faith, the Roman Catholic Church
was a source of comfort and anchor for her, and she expressed a great
admiration for Father Saulnier.

sense of pride were her family. Survived by her children, Valerie
(Gerald) Woodworth, Scott (Orlene Bligh) Coldwell, and Nancy Hurren;

husband Gordon Campbell; brothers, Thomas “Tom”,

Sheila was known for
her engaging personality, making friends wherever she went whether at
work, travel or in the communities where she lived. Having
an amazing way of making strangers feel as if she had known them for
years and never missed sending thoughtful cards and letters or playing
