Always cheerful, always interested, always supportive , always creative, always a steady , thoughtful and loving friend - the best.
Shelagh, together with lifelong friend Marj Paradine, taught us to love food and the journey to create delicious meals and cherished gatherings. Forty years on, we will miss her creativity, her sense of style, her ability to make the ordinary special, and most of all, her great gift of friendship.
I shall miss sitting next to Shelagh at our Gourmet Group dinners - and there were many of them over our 40+ years together
Shelagh asking “and what are your children doing and where have you been travelling to this time”?
She had a knack of inviting you into a conversation and remembering so much detail from the previous one and as members of the GG know, conversations started, stopped, then started again whether it be a GG dinner at someone’s home or a long weekend away at a GG cottage
Shelagh and John were joined in love and respect. A couple who’s understanding of togetherness was an example to be placed on a pedestal. Never a curt and angry word - just pure understanding and the joy of
harmony
Sharon & I will miss you Shelagh - know that there will be a place setting for you always!

Shelagh was a friend all my life.
We enjoyed many times together, skating at the Toronto Skating Club, working at the PNE selling Pepsi, when they visited the west coast, and so many other times.
I will miss our long chats together, her amazing meals and our life long friendship.
My condolences to John and the family.
We are unable to adequately express our feelings in the sudden loss of our dear friend Shelagh. She was always there with her wit, charm and advise when needed. We will sorely miss her and we will forever remember her.
