Elizabeth Shelley Wild (77)
Submitted by Diane (MacVicar) OConnor (75)
I met Shelley in the Student Union coffee shop one afternoon in 1974 and from then on we became fast friends. We went on to be housemates (or townies), living one year in a ramshackle old place on King Street and then finally in a wonderful house on York Street known as the Greenhouse. We always called ourselves, and those who lived with us, the Greenhouse Girls and for many years after graduating we would hold Greenhouse Reunions with the most recent being held in 2015 in St. Johns, NL with Karen Trollope Kumar (77) and Alice Gaudine (77). These reunions were much anticipated and enjoyed as we shared memories and laughter over many cups of tea and cake!
Shelley had an infectious laugh and a wonderful smile that lit up the room. She was a world traveller, often spending her winters in her favourite second home, Australia. While in Canada, she lived in a beautiful lakeside house in Bobcaygeon, where she enjoyed the sights and sounds of nature.
Shelleys sudden passing by accident this summer was a terrible blow to her family and friends, but she will be forever remembered and missed by all who knew her.
