Sheila Bartlett, 87, born on Friday, April 5, 1929 to Leslie and Mabel Fishwick in Sudbury, England, passed away Wednesday, August 10, 2016 peacefully at her home in Langley, Washington.

Growing up in London Sheila experienced wartime England and clearly remembered the Blitz, living just 15 miles from the center of London. After attending secretarial college, she traveled extensively through Scotland, Ireland, Denmark, France and Italy. In April of 1956, she sailed from Liverpool to Montreal, Canada. After traveling across Canada she settled in Vancouver, BC where she spent 6 years working.

In 1962, she immigrated to Seattle, Washington and enjoyed working several jobs including as an Executive Assistant to Norton Clapp, Chairman of the Weyerhaeuser Corporation, and as an Assistant to the Artistic Director at the Seattle Repertory Theatre.

She moved to Whidbey Island, Washington, in 1984, and worked for the City of Langley. In 1988 she met her husband, Robert Bartlett and they enjoyed traveling extensively through Europe.

Sheila was an active member of St. Hubert Catholic Church. She loved volunteering for the church and was always ready to help in any way she could. She was also very grateful for the support her church family provided for her during her illness.

Her hobbies included cooking, theatre, and water color painting.

Surviving Sheila are her two step-daughters, Julie Bartlett and Carol Bartlett.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband, Robert Bartlett.

The Bartlett family would like to thank Whidbey Health Hospice for their excellent care and compassion. The family also suggests memorials to Whidbey Animal Improvement Foundation (W.A.I.F.)

A Memorial will take place at 11:00 am, Friday, August 19, 2016 at St. Hubert Catholic Church in Langley.
