Tribute to Sheila

 

Sheila Cooper

Sheila had suffered from a chronic lung complaint for many years and died peacefully at home. She took up bridge some 40 years ago and was largely self taught, gaining experience at first by persuading better players to play online with her. She went on to play at all levels through from local clubs in Hertfordshire and county competitions to the national circuit where she was well known. She achieved the rank of Grand Master although with typical modesty she didn't want it to be publicised. She had a keen interest in people and made many friends through bridge. She put a huge amount of effort into encouraging and mentoring new players in East Hertfordshire. Away from the table she founded a very successful international security printing company. As well as bridge her other passion was for the Arsenal football team which she followed avidly. A remarkable lady with a life well lived. We will miss her.
