In Memory Of
Sheila B. Hoorwitz
Sheila B. Hoorwitz
d. October 1, 2007
NISKAYUNA – Sheila Marie Boss-Hoorwitz, 46, beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend.
Sheila was born December 8th, 1960 in Buffalo, NY. She died on October 1st, 2007 after a protracted fight with cancer. She was a formidable woman and fought AML the same way she approached daily life – with determination to win at all costs and utilize any avenues available to her in her efforts to beat this killer.
Through it all, Sheila never lost her will to live. She was an avid skeet-shooter as well as an accomplished horse-woman. Before her illness, she had been the manager of disease management for CDPHP for whom she worked diligently with drive and dedication for many years. On a personal note, the job Sheila loved more than any other was that of mother to her children. She was a caring and loving mother who put the needs of her children and family above all others. Whether it was instilling the love of education and learning or the love and care of horses, she enjoyed watching her children take the lead and excel in all areas. She had a winning way about her and was good natured with a great sense of her own humanity. She looked upon her children with great pride and awe at all their accomplishments.
Besides her loving husband, Chuck and daughters, Rachel, Carly and Zoe, Sheila is survived by her father, Hollis Boss, her step-mother, Jean Boss and her mother Joan Boss. She is also survived by her sisters, Patty Howe, Roxanne Speck (husband Arthur), and Lonnie Smith (husband Geoff); brothers, Hollis (Chip) Boss, and Richard (Buddy) Boss (wife Deborah). Sheila's surviving in-laws, Marion (mother in-law), Aaron, Sharon, and Mark (wife Robin) Hoorwitz will miss her dearly as well. She loved her nephews, Jimmy, Robert, Richard (lil Bud), Elliott, Jason, and Brian and nieces, Lauren, Ada, Amanda, Megan, Hannah, Debra and Stephanie -- fiercely, and lived for any news about them.
For those of us who knew and loved her, we will carry her always in our hearts and minds for as long as we live.
Funeral services will be held at 1:00 p.m. Wednesday at New Comer-Cannon Family Funeral Home, 343 New Karner Rd., Colonie (Rt. 155-south of Central Ave.). Interment will follow at Memory's Garden in Colonie. There will be no calling hours. To leave a special message for the family online, visit www.NewcomerFamily.com
