SHELDAN, Barbara Gwen (Fumerton) It is with the deepest agony that Tim,
Michael, Lizzy, Sarah and Matthew release their radiant angel-Barbara to her
heavenly father. My wife, my best friend, the mother of my children was
taken from me on December 20 in a tragic accident. She leaves behind to keep
her legacy alive, her soul mate and husband, Tim, her precious Michael (15),
daughter and best friend Elizabeth (13), her golden angel Sarah (4), her
special little Mattie Matthew (2) and stepson Robert (24). For all who knew
her or were touched by her kind and gentle hand, she was a generous,
selfless and loving person, an irreplaceable life partner and mother who's
life revolved around her family. Barbara was most comfortable out of the
spotlight and focusing on caring for her children, her garden and
participating in her church and community. Her household and her nurturing
ways were her satisfaction. When not involved in her children's many
activities, educational and cultural pursuits, of which she was so proud-she
enjoyed simple pleasures-cooking and gardening, travelling with her family,
spending time in the RV and visiting with her siblings and many friends.
Employed as an economist for 17 years with the provincial government, she
took on many different roles, most recently with both the Ministry of
Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation and then the Ministry of Economic
Development. Her work ethic, her intelligence, efficiency and approach to
her career made her an outstanding employee. In addition to her immediate
family, and predeceased by her dear mother Elaine, she leaves behind to
remember her, father Jack Fumerton, sisters Marilyn (Adrian), Jayne (Rick),
Jacquie (Mike), Meagan and brother Brian. Barbara's greatest life lesson
that she has left us, and unaware perhaps that she was doing so, is
tolerance for others and to treat each day as if it were your last. To my
darling wife-I shall always love you and miss you-you have taught me so
much. I cherish our years together and I will use your teachings in raising
our children. Memorial Service will be held on Friday, December 29th at 11am
at All Saints Anglican Church at 287 Pallisier Ave. in View Royal. Reception
to follow at All Saints Church Hall. Flowers gratefully declined, donations
can be made to the Barbara Sheldan Memorial Trust Fund (c/o the Royal Bank,
Douglas and Pandora Branch), or to Vancouver Children's Hospital in her
name, or to the Canadian Cancer Society. 326484
