Sheila Mae Jones (née Nicholson)

October 1, 1949 - November 21, 2024

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Sheila Mae Jones (née Nicholson) on Thursday, November 21, 2024, at the age of 75. Surrounded by her daughters at the FJ Davey Home, Sheila departed this life with love and grace.

Sheila was the cherished mother of Chantelle Horton of Troy, Michigan, and Shelley Chelsom (Dan) of Sault Ste. Marie. A proud and devoted Nana, she leaves behind her beloved grandchildren Noah Pearce, Julia Horton (Nathan Phelps), Brett Pearce, and Cassidy Horton. Sheila was the dear sister of Donna Long (Jackie) and a special sister to Bob Nicholson (Darlene). She is predeceased by her parents, Walter and Peggy Nicholson, formerly of Iron Bridge. Sheila will be fondly remembered by nieces, nephews, cousins, and many close friends.

Sheila found joy in painting, scrapbooking, music, and travelling. She especially treasured time spent with her grandchildren, creating unforgettable memories at Birchland Camp, where she grew up. Her guidance, wisdom, and humour made her an incredibly supportive and loving mother.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Jamie and the staff at Pathways Retirement Home for their kindness and care, and to the team on the 2nd Floor Cedar Grove at FJ Davey Home for their compassion and support.

Family and friends are invited to pay their respects at Beggs Funeral Home, 175 Main Street, Thessalon, on Tuesday, November 26, 2024, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. Interment will follow at Spruce Grove Cemetery in Iron Bridge.

Sheila’s love, creativity, and devotion to her family will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew her.
