It is with great sadness that the family of Mrs Sheila Mary Holt announces her passing on Wednesday 8th January 2025, at the age of 91 years.
Sheila passed away peacefully surrounded by her children - Martin, Roger and Julie - at Hartcliffe Nursing Home following another stroke at the beginning of the New Year. For 64 years Sheila was a devoted wife to Brian until his passing in 2022. She will be lovingly remembered by her three children, mother-in-law to Tracey, Elaine and Derek. Proud and adored Granma to Jack/Chelsi, Sam/Stacey. Tiffany/Sean, Harry/Carla, Tanis/Leo, Hannah/Rory and Oren and cherished Great Grandma to Emelia-Rose, Albert, Stanley, Freddie and Oliver. Loving and supportive sister-in-law to Beryl and Joy.
Upon leaving school at 15 years of age, Sheila started an apprenticeship in Brights Department Store and gained a City & Guilds in retail - working in the handbag department, it was here that Sheila met the 'Brights gang'. After 5 years Sheila became the Manageress of The Glove Shop in Park Street working here until she had Martin in September 1960. In 1972 Sheila started work at M&S at their Broadmead store working in the dress department, Shelia retired after 18 years.
Sheila was an avid reader and always had a knitting project on the go.
Her real passion in life was her family whom she adored.
