Sheila's Story
Life
I lost my husband Feb 2009 to complications of cancer. We have four grown children oldest and youngest are girls two middle boys. The oldest & youngest daughter & youngest son live in Az. The oldest son still lives in Carpentersville, Il. with his wife and youngest son. We have 14 grandchildren & 4 great grand children.
In 1958 we started out in Arlington, Va then on to Rochester, NY in "61" and then moved to Carpentersville, Il in 1963 . Knowing we probably would retire in Arizona one day we moved to Glendale Az in 1984 and stayed there until our last move to Sun City West, Az in Dec. of 1999 and we love it !
In the past I had enjoyed playing golf. However spinal surgery and rotator cuff surgery have kept me from playing the past few years . I will try my hand at it again one of these days I still remain as a social member of the golf league & enjoy being on several of their committee's. Sun City West is a Del Webb retirement community established in 1976 it's about 15 mi. northwest of Phoenix... We have 4 recreation centers, 9 beautiful golf courses, 1 private 1 public & the other 7 for members & guest. Each rec. center has at least one pool & jacuzzi , most have 2 indoor & out door, olympic & play ..tennis , bowling, bocci, shuffleboard, walking & running tracks, indoor & outdoor , you name it we got it!!! Many ammenities. Clubs of every kind .. something for everyone the "Best of Everything " I have made many friends here some of...Expand for more
which are from the same town where we raised our children.
While our children were growing up, I enjoyed being a 4-H leader, asst. Girl Scout leader, helped my husband with cub scouts & boy scouts , worked with the Little League & was teachers aide at the local grade school for awhile. I worked full time in several factories , my last position was operations manager for a large answering service in Elgin, Il. Was there from 1972 til moved to Glendale, Az in 1984.. I also worked in a supervisory position at an Ans. Svc. in Glendale and Phoenix. I have witnessed many changes in the communication field during those years... I haven't been in the work force since my husband (Dan's retirement) For the past several years I have cared for and have medical guardianship of my husband neice who has some mental and physical disabilities. I also make a point of visiting an adult group home each Friday. I enjoy visiting and helping some of the elderly out whenever I can.
Dan and I are still loyal Chicago Bear Fans and White Sox Fans. Matter of fact he is watching the White Sox right now.
I do play cards weekly and with another group monthly. Always keep busy doing one thing or another. I have been on the Bocce League for the past three years and devote my time volunteering for Meals on Wheels where I am a co-ordinator as well as an interviewer for upcoming recipients
I deleted a lot of things I had written in 2007 and added a few things this year 2012.
