Sheena was an active member of ANZASW for many years. She will be remembered for guiding many new social workers into the profession.
Kia kaha.

My sympathies to the friends and family of a lovely lady who assisted in finding our perfect baby daughter 50 years ago. Much admired .

Our thoughts are with Sheena's family. My first meeting was in 1949 as a 12 year old I attended my first Girl Guide Camp at Centre Bush and Sheena was in charge. It was a great experience as she put so much effort and fun into the week. Since then we have met on many occasions and we both have many memories of knowing this lovely friendly woman for many years.
