Sheila M. Stockbridge

Sheila M. (Munsell) Stockbridge, age 86, of Pembroke and formerly of Norwell, passed away peacefully at home on July 22, 2015.  Fondly known as Chumly, Sheila was born in Newton in 1929 and was the loving mother of Stephen Smith, Leslie Scribner, Michael Smith and Lisa Smith.  She will also be missed by her sisters Alma Gunther and Elinor Ruprecht, her eight grandchildren, Erik and Douglas Smith, Fay and Elise Verkade, Gregory and Raymond Smith and Katherine and Lindsey Sumner and many nieces and nephews.

Sheila worked for WCVB in many capacities for twenty two years until her retirement in 1994.  She was an avid reader, wonderful gardener and longtime member of the Mattakeesett Garden Club.  She was a lifetime member of the First Parish Unitarian Church of Norwell and very active in The Alliance.  Sheila also had an appreciation for antiques and fine art and spent many happy days “antiquing” with friends.

Gratitude is extended to South Shore VNA and Hospice for their care and compassion.

Her life will be celebrated with a memorial service held on Saturday, August 15, 2015, at 11:00 AM at First Parish Unitarian Church located at 24 River Street, Norwell, MA 02061.  Donations to honor Sheila may be made to The Salvation Army, 1500 Washington Street, Boston, MA 02118-2015.
