Sheila T Fiffy, born on October 9, 1945, in Troy, NY, passed away peacefully on January 7, 2026. For most of her life, Sheila resided in Leominster before moving to Athol, Massachusetts, in 2006. A loving wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend, Sheila was a woman of boundless love and generosity. Throughout her life, she dedicated herself to her family, who were her greatest joy and accomplishment.
Sheila is survived by her loving husband, George Fiffy; her son, George Fiffy II; her daughter, Jennifer Lemoine and her husband, Damien Turner; her cherished granddaughters, Kiley LeBlanc and Melania Lemoine, and many other loved family and friends. She was preceded in death by her father, Harold JR, her mother, Theresa Quinn, and her sister, Maureen Cormier. Sheila's hobbies included knitting, playing games on her tablet, and watching her favorite shows, but it was the time spent with her family, especially her granddaughters Kiley and Melania, that she treasured most. Her memory will be cherished by all who knew her, and she will be greatly missed.
