Verity Walker Eley wrote: "Sheena was one of those teachers who was always on the side of her pupils, however good, or bad, they were at her subject! She was also a tower of strength in the legendary school musicals such as Oliver!, West Side Story and The Boyfriend. A great church and community spirit, she will be sorely missed by all who loved and knew her."
Mel Langille wrote: "Such a lovely, friendly lady. Love and prayers for her and all the family."
Iona Macintosh said: "So sorry to hear this. She was a lovely lady – my Sunday school teacher."
Maggie Wylie observed: "Loved her, she was one of those teachers who seemed to realise that we weren’t all going to excel at foreign languages."
Isabel Paterson wrote: "Lovely Sheena, played Golde (the Mother) in Fiddler On The Roof and continued to call me ‘My Tzeitel’ whenever I saw her during the 30 years afterwards. We formed a wonderful bond of friendship during theatre club days. So sad that she’s no longer with us and sending my love and prayers to her family."
