IT IS WITH A SAD HEART THAT I TRY TO WRITE THIS TRIBUTE TO AN OUTSTANDING LADY. WHERE DO WE START SHE WAS A MOTHER, AN ATHELETE, SISTER, WIFE, WHIPPETEER. SHELIA WAS ALL OF THESE THINGS.
SHELIA WAS THE HEART AND SOLE OF THURROCK WHIPPET RACING CLUB, FROM ORGANISING RAFFLES, CO-ORDINATING THE RUGBY MATCHES WITH OUR RACING AND BEING OUR TREASURER.
IT WAS A ROLE SHE DID WILLINGLY TO HELP PROMOTE RACING NOT ONLY IN THE SOUTH BUT ALL OVER ENGLAND.
SHELIA LOVED HER RACING AND HER DOGS, THE LATEST IN HER KENNEL "HARVEY" ALIAS EVERSLEY LAD, BRED BY CLOSE FRIENDS VICK AND MICK MARCHANT, HE IS A TESTAMENT TO GOOD BREEDING AND TRAINING, ALTHOUGH NOT IN THE BEST OF HEALTH DURING THE LAST YEAR, SHELIA AND ARTHUR WERE HAPPY TO TAKE HARVEY OFF TO OPENS, TO ENJOY THIER RACING.
AS AN OUTSIDER TO THEIR MARRIAGE,WHICH SPANNED OVER 50 YEARS, WE WERE ABLE TO GLIMPLSE, TWO PEOPLE IN HARMONY WITH EACH OTHER, THAT IS SHELIA TELLING ARTHUR WHAT TO DO AND ARTHUR COMPLYING.
HER GRAND CHILD ALEX IS ALSO KEEN ON RACING AND WAS OFTEN SEEN AT OUR CLUB AND OPENS THROUGHOUT THE UK.
ALEX WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AND GRANDAD IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
AS A MOTHER SHELIA HAD TWO CHILD , JACKIE AND ALAN, WHO I UNDERSTAND ARE DISTRAUGHT AT HER DEATH, BUT THESE CHILDREN WERE A GREAT JOY TO SHELIA.
