It is with profound sadness that the family of Sheila Dianna Wolbaum, announce her sudden passing at home on Saturday, December 18, 2021 at the age of 72 years.
She will be lovingly remembered and survived by her husband of 52 years, Ernie; children: Jarrett (Melanie), Belynda, and Amanda (Curtis); grandchildren: Kourtney, Kayden, Darien, Adalyn; step grandchildren: Zach, Kieran and Miley. Siblings Brian (Leslie), Ron (Cathy), Pat (John), Gerry (Connie), Maureen (Mike) along with many extended friends and family.

It has been said that she was stubborn, rough around edges at times but fiercely loyal and loving with a heart of gold. If she loved you, you were in her life forever and there is nothing she wouldn’t do for you. Even though she suffered daily with pain, she always took the time to check in with others and enjoy a few laughs. She will be greatly missed by many but we all can agree that we would rather feel the pain we feel then to see her suffer another day in the pain she was in.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

Joe was a very independent man with strong convictions and true integrity.

Upon his retirement from Telus in 1993, his pastimes were building/fixing computers for friends, maintaining his acreage and tinkering with his vehicles and acreage equipment. He so enjoyed visiting with friends and family, traveling to California in the winters, and especially, relaxing in his self-designed home on his acreage for almost 40 years.
We all love Joe and miss him dearly but with time we will laugh and hold our cherished memories of Joe close to our hearts.
In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Kidney Foundation or the Salvation Army, in Joe’s memory.
