SHEILA JOYCE BRYDON-GIBB
Sheila Joyce Brydon-Gibb (Nee Kelly) was born on March 13, 1932, in Rocanville, Saskatchewan and passed away peacefully with her family by her side on her daughter Barbara’s birthday, February 14, 2025, in Winnipeg at the age of 92.
She is survived by her children, Barbara Larkin, Barry (Marion) Brydon, and Letitia (Mark) Robinson. Grandchildren, Ian (Jennifer) Brydon, Sheldon Brydon, Harlo (Courtney) Larkin, and Melissa (Jim) Soltess. Great-grandchildren, Avery Brydon, Mackenzie and Lilly Brydon, Hayden, Brody and Taylor Larkin, Eva and Emily Soltess, along with numerous nieces, nephews and cherished friends.
She is predeceased by her two husbands, Bill Brydon of 49 years and Jim Gibb of 12 years, her son-in-law John Larkin and her six siblings.
Shelia met her husband Bill in Birtle, Manitoba where they had a beautiful life and raised their 3 children on their family farm. They later retired to Brandon, Manitoba in 1993. After Bill passed away, she met a bachelor farmer at a local senior dance, and was later married.
A year and half ago Shelia moved to Winnipeg. More than anything, Shelia enjoyed being around people. She loved to have a party and loved music. She loved to play cards and often could not be beat. She was a proud Mother, Grandma and Great- Grandma and was never happier then when we were all together. Faith has always been a big part of her life and always kept as a focal point. She enjoyed being involved in many church groups and community groups over the years. Shelia was an avid gardener and enjoyed being outside taking care of her yard. Sheila also enjoyed many years of baking and showing at the local fair.
To know Shelia is to know her hugs. She always knew when you needed a hug and would give one to anyone!
Funeral service to be held in April.
Memorial donations in Sheila’s memory can be made to Cancer Care Manitoba or St. Charles Headingley United Church.

My condolences on the passing of your mom/grandmother. Sheila & Bill were next door neighbours on Dogwood Blvd. We had a good relationship with them and learned a few card games. My wife, Marilyn has since passed, but she adored Sheila & Bill. I recall one time asking Sheila for a favor when I had to cook three 20 lb. beef roasts for a fundraiser dinner. Of course Sheila volunteered with no coercion on my part! But she had this look of serious concern when I gave her the roast and instructions. I had obtained a recipe from a friend & it was to take seven hours. After three hours Sheila was calling ... "George I think it's done". We did go six or seven hours. The roasts were beautiful & the dinner a success. We all learned something that day. Rest in peace Sheila! - Posted by: George A Malmstrom (Neighbour/friend) on: Feb 28, 2025

Your Mother, Grandmother and great-grandmother was a very special lady and as was said most certainly gave the best hugs. I have so many great memories of Sheila…… picking raspberries with her, sitting around her kitchen table, traveling to Spy Hill, her patience in teaching me to float on my back at Birtle dam….. Treasure all your memories - Posted by: Geraldine Parker (Family friend) on: Feb 24, 2025

We are so sorry to hear that Sheila has passed away. We were neighbours to Sheila and Bill on Dogwood. I remember her bringing her fresh baked buns and her fudge. She was the best neighbour a person could ask for. We will miss you. - Posted by: Terry and Rob Riesz (Neighbour) on: Feb 22, 2025
