WOODBURNE, Sheila Vivian 1928 - 2017 Sheila Vivian, age 88, of Tsawwassen, died peacefully June 8th at Westshore Laylum Care Home in Ladner, BC with her family close by her side. Born in Vancouver in 1928, she is predeceased by her parents William Evans and Marjorie (Partington), and her late husband George Herbert Woodburne (1995) After raising her children, Sheila returned to vocational school to complete a diploma in office administration. She worked in the commercial real estate division for 20 years before retiring. She was also keenly interested in politics, volunteering as club secretary for a local party in Delta. She enjoyed her family, travels and teaching her grandchildren baking and sewing. A recent cruise to Alaska was especially memorable. Her hobbies included photography, sumie painting, cross stitch and later, quilting. These were often on display during Ladner's Quilt Walk. Sheila is survived by her two sons Scott McAlpine (Sandy) and Geoff Woodburne (Brenda); her daughter Adrienne McAlpine (Gordon Irving Lately); five grandchildren Kimberly (Chris), Roberta (Wade), Christopher, Sarah, and Nicholas; and four great-grandchildren. The family wishes to extend their gratitude to Westshore Laylum for their unwavering care and support, particularly for helping make our memorable Alaska cruise with Mom a reality. A reception in Sheila's memory will take place at 1 PM on Sunday, July 9th at 5318 Camaro Drive in Tsawwassen.
