CORNWALL — Sheila Anne (Clark) Foote died peacefully on Nov. 13, 2021. She was born June 9, 1935.

Sheila grew up in Vergennes, Addison and Shoreham and settled in Cornwall and lived there all her married life with her husband Arlyn. Sheila was a wife, mother, a grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother. She was a musician, a craftsman, a bookkeeper for the farm. She could do just about anything with her hands, including playing the piano, the church organ, knitting, crocheting, baking, caning chairs, wallpapering and even small home improvement projects.

She was a faithful church member at the Cornwall Congregational Church, playing at the organ or bells or singing in the choir for decades. She was known for her apple pie, chicken pie and strawberry shortcakes. While serving there as Church secretary, preparing the bulletin and typing reports, she also was a vital member of committees and supported the many ministers, church dinners and community outreaches. Sheila was a member of the Ethan and Mary Baker Allen Chapter of the D.A.R and served in leadership capacities on the state and local level.
