Obituary for Sheila Marion File (Tombs)

FILE, Sheila Marion (nee Tombs); It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Sheila Marion File in her 80th year on Nov. 13th, 2014 at Napanee Ontario. Sheila began her journey Dec 17, 1934, the 5th of 6 children to Edith and George Tombs in Newmarket, England. Sheila continued her life journey leaving England in 1956 at 22 to come to Canada and began her own family of 5 children. Sheila is survived by her younger sister Maureen and her husband Michael. Sheila is predeceased by her brothers Ken and Buster and her sisters Joyce and Pam and dear friend Jack Robinson. Sheila will be dearly missed by her 5 children – Patricia (Bruce), Andrew (Mary-Lou), Maureen (Michael), James (Janet) and Jean-Paul, her 9 grandchildren Amber, Lucas, Jordan, Anne-Marie, Morgan, Amanda, Claire, Christopher and Rae-Lee and her 6 great-children Logan, Nicholas, Luke, Alanna, Jackson and Callum. Sheila’s faith was important to her and she was a dedicated member of the Church of the Holy Trinity in Toronto, where she had many close friendships, including Susan, Heather, Glynnis, Alice, Jim, Merilee and many more. She treasured her involvement as the wardrobe mistress for The Christmas Story over many years. She was a founding member of Trinity Hospice and was involved in many community organizations. Later in life she reconnected with her youth in the Navy, and proudly marched with the WRENS in Remembrance Day and other parades. Sheila was a communication director in the Provincial government for over 25 years and had a passion for politics, people and places. She lived in the Beaches in Toronto for over 45 years, where she loved to walk or bike along the boardwalk, canoe at the foot of Silverbirch or play tennis at Kew Beach. Her passion for sport was passed along to her children. She was a creative seamstress, a wonderful gardener and dedicated to the environment. Her nurturing nature was always a comfort along with a cup of hot chocolate to warm your spirits. Sheila resided at the John Parrott Centre in Napanee for the past two years and prior to that at the Riverine. Her time in Napanee included participation with Grace United Church and the family appreciated all their support and also thank the staff at the John Parrott Centre and the Riverine for their wonderful care. We love you mom for your strength, love, courage and your guiding spirit. A celebration of life will be held at the Grace United Church in Napanee (150 Robert St., at Bridge St.) on Saturday, November 29th, 2014 at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Parkinson’s Society, Church of the Holy Trinity – Christmas Story (Toronto) or Grace United Church (Napanee).
