Sheila Davis

Davis (nee Gurr), Sheila

Released from her emotional and physical battle with Parkinson’s Disease on December 19, 2024.
Reunited with her best friend, globe-trotting buddy, devoted caretaker and husband Andy.

Sheila is the definition of a warrior; smart, sassy and strong-willed, she continued to work full-time
through cancer treatments and Parkinson’s until retirement, never allowing her medical situations to
define her and always carrying on with life as best she could, enjoying travel and family to the fullest.

She leaves behind her loving daughter Sara, devoted son-in law Chris Potts, and cherished grandchildren
Ayla and Aiden Potts. We will always carry you in our hearts and treasure the wonderful memories you
created with us.

Sheila also leaves behind her loving brothers and sisters Jim, John, Bob, Bill, Tom, Lynn, Lee, Ron, Cathy,
Ted and their spouses, and many nieces and nephews.

Billy and Dilly (Maureen) have been an enormous source of support and love for our family as we
navigated the most trying time of our lives, taking time from their own family to come and stay in
Ottawa for weeks at a time to ensure we were all taken care of, cooking meals, cleaning, providing taxi
service and supporting us through difficult appointments.

Special thanks to dear friends, Ronette, Ann, Diane and Gilles for your unconditional love and support.

A very special thank you to Kevin P. of The Ottawa Hospital for helping us navigate the healthcare
system over the last eighteen months and ensuring our family was treated like loved ones throughout
our difficult journey. Your support and care have been invaluable to our family.

My paddle’s keen and bright, flashing like silver, follow the wild goose flight, dip dip and swing.
