Leslie Sheard

Gail Leslie Elizabeth Sheard (Leslie), 70, born in Barrie, ON August 4, 1952 passed away peacefully with her family by her side at Tomkins House-Hospice Huronia on Wednesday March 29th, 2023 after a courageous battle with cancer.

Leslie was a vibrant, kind, thoughtful soul who was full of life and will be missed and remembered by the many lives she touched.

Her family hopes she is now somewhere on a beach, side by side with her daughter and all their furry friends who passed before them, reading a good book while sipping on a cerveza.

She is survived by her partner of 30 years Dale Siemens. Loving mother to the late Robin Celeste (Scott), Michelle Knowles (Steve), Tom Parker (Karrie), Nancy Parker (Bobby), and Jocelyn Siemens. Best Grandma (Gramma / Ma) to Samantha (Andrew), Cooper, Cameron, Jaxen, Grayson, and Great Grandma (GG) to Declan. Dear sister of Ewan Sheard (Laurie), Laura Sheard, Paul Sherar (Linda), Ron Sheard (Sue), Steve Sheard (Margaret), Carolyn Black (Gary), Bob Sheard (Erika), and Chris Sheard.

Predeceased by her parents Dennis Sheard and June Gill.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the amazing staff, nurses and volunteers at the Tomkins House-Hospice Huronia for their exceptional care and support.
