SHANKEL-WOOLFREY, Sheri Maureen - (June 6, 1955 - December 2,
2008): Daughters Sandy (husband Mark Fahey and grandsons Alex and Liam),
Katie (husband Randy King) and Emily (Mike Dobbin) sadly announce the
passing of their mother Sheri Shankel-Woolfrey at the Health Sciences
Centre on Tuesday, December 2, 2008. She had a 13 year challenge with
primary bilary cirrhosis later complicated by liver cancer. Also leaving
to mourn, mother Dorothy Mae Shankel (father Earl, deceased); sisters
Suanne Sampson (Liverpool, Nova Scotia) and Cathy Blake (Alexander, Maine),
their husbands and families. Sheri was born in Liverpool, Nova Scotia.
She graduated from Mount St. Vincent University and moved to Newfoundland
in 1976 to accept a teaching position on New World Island. What was to
be a two-year temporary stay, in Newfoundland, became a home for the
past three decades. Sheri completed eighteen years of teaching, sixteen
of which were at J.M. Olds Collegiate, Twillingate before retiring due
to ill health. She was a committed educator both inside the classroom
and out. She volunteered her time and skills with numerous youth and
community organizations; most recently the St. John's Status of
Women's Council and Women's Centre. She was recognized for
her abilities with a Prime Minister's Award for Teaching Excellence,
and a Commonwealth Youth Service Award plus numerous other recognitions.
Following her retirement, Sheri became associated with the School Milk
Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador, a partnership she very much
enjoyed. Sheri lived life with spirit, touched with a healthy dose of
reality and practicality. A few of her favorite past-times were gardening,
with a special love of spring flowers, creating heirloom quality handwork
for family and friends, keeping “tummies” full and creative
writing. Her daughters always knew they were the highlight and pride
of her life. They shared a very special bond with her. The laughter and
good times they shared became even more cherished as her illnesses progressed.
Cremation has taken place. Visitation will be held at Carnell's Funeral
Home, 329 Freshwater Road on Wednesday from 7-9 p.m. and Thursday from
2-4 and 7-9 p.m. A memorial service in celebration of Sheri's life
will take place on Friday, December 5, 2008 at 2:00 p.m. from the Carnell
Memorial Chapel. Interment to follow in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. Sheri's
desire was that donations be given to Bridges of Hope Food Bank or the

"Miss Me But Let Me Go"
When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me, I
want no rites or rituals in a gloom filled room. Why cry for a soul
set free? Miss me a little, but not too long, and with your head
bowed low, remember the love that we once shared. For this is a journey
we all must take and each must go alone. It's all a part of the master's
plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of
heart, see family and friends we know. Take time to heal, though
we must part, Miss me but let me go."
