SHERYL CLYDE (NESBITT)

Condolences & Memories (17 entries)

• I got to know her briefly because we both thought it was funny that we had the same name and were close in age. I did not know she had passed. Too many of my friends are gone. It happens when you get old. May she rest in peace. - Posted by: Ray (sheryl) clyde (old friend on facebook) on: Nov 27, 2018

• Very sorry to hear of Sheryl's passing, Bill and family. No contact for many years but her memory remains very strong. She was such a gentle, kind and good person who loved horses but sure gave us a scare one time. Our kids loved her as a babysitter and we depended on her. Happy trails Sheryl. - Posted by: Lloyd Cavers (Teacher and old friend) on: Sep 06, 2016

• We worked with Sheryl through the Victoria Lifeline service she offered her clients in the Interlake when she was a Resource Coordinator. We always appreciated her dedication, caring and the gentle matter of fact way she had about her. We heard about her illness and passing through other Interlake resource coordinators and offer her family our sympathy. - Posted by: Diane Silverthorne on behalf of Victoria Lifeline (friend and co-worker) on: Jul 30, 2012

• Sincere sympathy to your family. Megan, Keith, Madison and Miley - thinking of you all! Thoughts and prayers are with you all. - Posted by: Allison Sloan (Cockbill) () on: Jun 11, 2012

• Sheryl inspired all in her presence to be a kinder, gentler person. Over the years, and in particular in recent years, she epitomized "hope springs eternal". May her hopeful spirit carry her family through the coming months. She will remain loved, honoured and surely missed by all of us who knew her. - Posted by: Brenda Hearson (Neepawa friend since high school days) on: Jun 10, 2012

• June 8, 2012 I first met Sheryl when the Clydes moved to Balmoral and became my next door neighbours (albeit a half mile away). I soon learned of her love of horses which I shared. In fact, more than once she talked me into stepping up on a recalcitrant mare or starting a colt for her - things I hadn’t done for awhile. I grew to know her much better when I moved my mother into Lions Manor in 2000 where she worked for the community as a resource coordinator for the Seniors Resource Council. Her knowledge and well-earned reputation in that job were a great boon to my mother since Sheryl was able, at the drop of a hat, to find and match volunteers, home care workers, health information, rides, income tax preparation or almost any resource to fill almost any need. Impressed with her helpful dedication, I joined the board of the Seniors Resource Council where I served for six years, three as president and thereby became her boss (at least on paper). In that capacity I had the good fortune to work with her closely and learned the true depth and breadth served by Sheryl’s long hours and indefatiguable dedication. She lived in service to others to make their waning years more comfortable. Then when friends and neighbours heard about her devastating illness diagnosed about five years ago, the prognosis, the shock we all felt, and her struggle for life, this recent news comes as still no less of a shock. Notwithstanding her own tribulations, her dedication never waned. I hope Bill, Megan, Andrew, Heather, Kaitlin and others of their family will be solaced somewhat in the firm knowledge that she will be remembered as someone who always put the welfare of others ahead of her own. We are proud to have known her and will carry the kindest of memories. Jim Millar - Posted by: Jim Millar (Neighbour and friend) on: Jun 09, 2012

• Dear Bill and Family, Please accept my most heartfelt sympathy, during this, your time of sorrow. I met Sheryl at the Multiple Myeloma group, she always had a piece of interesting information to share with all of us.I sure learned alot from her. She was a pillar of strength to all of us, even when she was so weak herself. We will all truly miss her. - Posted by: Christine Chornoboy (friend) on: Jun 08, 2012

• Our sincere sympathies to Bill and family. We thought very highly of Sheryl. She was so kind, thoughtful and considerate to all. Thinking of you and your loss. - Posted by: Jeff and Twylla Gordon (Friends) on: Jun 07, 2012

• My you find comfort and support from your treasured memories of such a good kind person. Sheryl and I graduated from Neepawa Collegiate together - she was someone that you just wanted to be friends with - a kind/gentle/good person that you could always trust with your teenage girl stuff. I have no doubt that she carried those qualities with her throughout her life and was proudly always there for her family. I remember how she loved horses (even after she fell off one) and of course I loved her curly hair! She will be with you always. - Posted by: Barbara Cumming (Radford) (Classmate ) on: Jun 07, 2012

• I am deeply saddened by the news of Sheryl. She was a home care worker for a short time for my mother. She was such a caring, thoughtful and hardworking woman.
