Sheila Joyce Howsam sadly passed away on the 12th of February 2026, aged 85 years. She will be dearly missed by her family and friends.
No flowers please. Sheila was a massive animal lover, so donations would be much preferred for "Animals Asia" which is a charity trying to end bear bile in Vietnam. Donations can be made via the JustGiving link on this page.
There will be a donation box supplied at the funeral which would be kindly accepting donations for "New Hope Animal Rescue", which is an animal rescue based in Canterbury that helps support animals in need.
