BRANDL, Sheila Alice (nee HENNESSY) Sadly, we announce the passing of Sheila at the Trillium Hospital in Mississauga. Sheila will be greatly missed by her loving husband, Alf and her devoted daughters, Margaret and Erica. Sheila was born in Montreal, where she met Alf. Together, they lived in Austria and Manitoba, before settling in Ontario. She always missed Montreal and returned there for numerous trips, which she enjoyed tremendously. Sheila’s true passion was genealogy. Her work led to a mountain of research of her own family tree and the discovery of many relatives, many of whom we were able to meet in person. Her tireless efforts also helped many others in tracing their family trees. She enjoyed travel, something she shared with Alf, with whom she went on many trips, including Australia and Europe. She especially cherished her visit to the Canadian Monument at Vimy Ridge as her grandfather served during World War I. Survived by her husband, Alf and daughters, Margaret Brandl (Rob) and Erica Brandl (Rob, sons Devin and Jarod), brother Dan (Judith), sister Joan, brother Bill (Marie José), twin sister Shannon (Andre) and brother Tom (Sally). Sheila will be remembered by her many nephews, nieces and friends. Predeceased by her father, Frank (1976), her mother, Jessie (1990), her brothers, Gerald (1967) and Donald (2006). A celebration of her life will be held at The Simple Alternative Funeral Centre, 1535 South Gateway Rd., Mississauga, on Wednesday, August 9, 2017 from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. Interment at the Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery, Montreal.
