SHEILA McGREGOR COX

Sheila McGregor Cox, beloved wife of Graham of Calgary, Alta., passed away Tuesday, Nov. 20, 2012 at the age of 85.
Sheila was born Feb. 17, 1927 in Vernon, B.C. and attended school there. Her post-secondary education was at the University of British Columbia and the Presbyterian Deaconess School in Toronto, Ont., where she met her husband, Graham, in 1947.
They were married in Vernon that same year and moved to Kenora, Ont.
Sheila thoroughly enjoyed the years spent in Kenora, where she was a committed mom to Duncan and Malcolm and an active volunteer in hospital and seniors’ home auxiliaries.
She and Graham later lived in Fort Frances, Ont. and Kitchener, Ont., and later in Chestermere and Calgary, where she enjoyed the many friendships she developed at the “Whitecappers” groups and the Pavilions Apartments.
She was a skilful and avid curler, and participated at local and regional levels in Kenora, Fort Frances, and Kitchener.
Besides her loving husband, Graham, Sheila is survived by her sons, Malcolm and Duncan; daughters-in-law, Louise and Joyce; grandchildren, Matt (Hilde), Erin (Mike), Todd (Carly), Ryan, Rebecca, Ceilidh, and Shannon; and great-grandchildren, Tegan, Sullivan, and Abner.
Sheila was predeceased by her mother and father, James and Christina Ewing.
