Obituary of Sheila Cardinal

Sheila Mary Ann Cardinal June 12, 1925 – Dec 5, 2017 It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Sheila Cardinal, on December 5, 2017. Mom was born in Saskatoon, Sk. and raised on a farm near Meacham, Sk. After attending High School she went to Normal School in Saskatoon Sk. and started her much loved career as a teacher. After teaching for several years in country schools she went to Imperial, Sk. ending her teaching career to marry her farmer husband, John. There they raised four children before moving to Saskatoon in 1973. Mom and Dad enjoyed many winters in the southern States and later summers at her beloved cabin at Meeting Lake. Mom enjoyed crocheting and gardening and loved having coffee with friends and family. She also loved visits from her nine grandchildren whom she much enjoyed after their quick arrival within seven years. Survived by children and grandchildren Rilla (Grant) Cheston, Marla and Tanis; Shannon (Bill) Pfeifer, Angela (Crystal), John and Jordan; Adair (Laurie), Matthew and Joel, Elva (Doug) Kellins, Paul and Nicole (Steve) and recently much loved twin great- grandchildren Gracelyn and Jayden. She is also survived by her brother Allister Welch and numerous nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her husband John of nearly 60 years, parents James and Elva Welch, and sisters Erdine and Vivian. After Dad’s passing in 2011, Mom’s health deteriorated but she enjoyed visiting with the staff and ladies in her Care Home, especially Elizabeth, Ellen and more recently June. Mom will be sorely missed.
