Sheryl Frances Irons (Duell /Romphf)

Passed away peacefully and surrounded by close family at St. Mary’s General Hospital on Thursday March 23, 2023 at the age of 68. 
 
Sheryl spent her entire life studying different ways to heal and help people either mentally, spiritually, or by way of natural remedies. She began her journey studying herbal supplements and the power of positive thinking and became a chartered herbalist. Sheryl opened a health food store in Owen Sound “Whole Foods”, with her mother May Romphf, and together they were able to help many people and built many friendships along the way. The health food store was closed in the 90s and Sheryl’s next step was to complete her schooling and acquire her diploma as a registered nurse. At the same time she trained as a doula and attended over 50 births. 

Sheryl’s desire to help people continued to grow and her latest venture led to her opening her dream business. “Naturally Inspired Herbal Wellness Centre” in 2013. Sheryl became a certified crystal healer, And she aligned herself with others in the industry to ultimately create a community of spiritual healing and wellness. Naturally inspired was not just a store, it was a place to chat, a place to learn ways to self heal, a place to study with a vast collection of books, and a place of fellowship. 

Sheryl loved going into the shop and was always ready to offer to her customers and friends whatever they needed. The name of the business was a perfect fit and along with Sheryl’s wealth of knowledge, calming spirit, huge heart and a willingness to help everyone she could, Sheryl truly was “Naturally Inspired."
 
Sheryl was the loving mother to four boys Paul Duell, Greg Duell, Mark Duell and predeceased Jeff Duell.  She was a proud grandmother to 9 grandchildren. And dear sister to Dwayne and Terry Romphf. 
 
Cremation has already taken place and a celebration of life will be announced at a later date. 
 
In lieu of flowers the family has asked that in honour of Sheryl, do your best to help someone. Maybe simply be a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear, pay for someone’s coffee, any small gesture to honour someone who spent her entire life trying to help people.
