Sheila Cowling
I see no obituary or memories here, but I tell you that in her later years at Morningside House, I knew her well. She was a very kind woman who loved a good story, and to talk about her famous brother who was a sports writer in NY City, and her grandchildren. She loved her family and friends and was generous to everyone. She loved her Irish heritage, her faith and her family. She saw a lot of change in her 99 years on this earth. I remember surprising her on her 99th birthday with a huge vase of lilacs. She'd forgotten it was her birthday! Her face lit up! She called me to write and address her Christmas cards each year and help her with her ledger books. I learned a lot from her. How fitting I should think of her so close to the anniversary of her death. I miss her.
