Born on August 17, 1947, our beautiful wife, mother, Grandy, and friend, Sheila Marion Forster (nee Pyle) left us on August 9, 2019, just shy of her 72nd birthday.

She met Richard in 1972 while living in Vancouver, BC and they celebrated 46 years of marriage on March 10, 2019. Sheila and Rich lived in Kamloops from 1974 to 1984, then relocated to Kelowna, BC where they lived for the past 35 years.

Sheila worked for many years at BDO in Kelowna and in retirement logged countless volunteer hours with the Telus Ambassadors and Shoe Bank Canada, enjoying sorting shoes with the tight-knit volunteer group.

We were shocked and saddened by Sheila's passing. We have so many memories of your family. Sheila and I date back to Reid Motors days! We have shared so many memories dating back to when our kids would play with your kids when you visited Kamloops. We celebrated Lisa and Shauna's weddings; enjoyed meeting your grand babies; when we brought our 3 grand kids to Kelowna for 3 days I remember chalk designs and numbers on the driveway, blowing bubbles on the grass, visits to Dominic Lake; remember our marching musical band! The many visits to Dirty Laundry and different restaurants. The very best was the hospitality and comfort of Sheila and Rich's home! Sheila was a Mother to us all! May your memories remain in your hearts forever. We are blessed to have known her. Art & Myrna, Kari and Mark Bepple

Rich and Family, it was with great sadness that I heard of Sheila's passing. We spent years together having our lunches in the BDO lunchroom, sharing stories of our families - she was so proud of her daughters and grandchildren, her smile was never bigger! I will miss her visits to the office but will remember her memories.
