Sheila was a conscientious and beloved member of the costume repair team, who in earlier safer times gathered together in the Green Room on Monday and Tuesday mornings. Sadly, Sheila passed away in March at the age of 85, after suffering from a short illness. She will be greatly missed. Here is a tribute composed by the sewing ladies with whom she shared happy times and friendship.

“Sheila had been part of our costume repair shop for about two years. She was a lovely, kind, gentle lady who was really good at repairing things – no job too big or too small. We’re going to miss her in our little gang and her lovely smile. RIP Sheila, from all your friends in the costume repair shop.”

Sheila was a very special lady and her enthusiasm and expertise will be remembered with gratitude and affection.

Our thoughts are with her family at this sad time.
