Sheila Modjeska

Sheila lived many years in the Chicago area (Glen Ellyn and Hinsdale) before moving to Evergreen Lake in Lynchburg in 1988 when her husband, Dr. Jerry Modjeska (now deceased), took a job in the medical department at First Colony.  She plans to keep their house for her two children, five grandchildren and five great grandchildren to come for visits. 

Sheila received a Bachelor of Science from University of Wisconsin, Madison, and a Master of Arts from University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, as a reading specialist.  She later earned an American Montessori Teaching Certification. 

Hobbies include golf, tennis, pickleball and hiking in addition to bridge and Hand & Foot.  She enjoys friends from PEO, DAR, AAUW, book club, First Presbyterian Church and Happy Hikers.  Ushering at the Academy of Arts is her favorite volunteer activity. 

Sheila looks forward to making many new friends and enjoying activities at Westminster Canterbury.
