Early life

Born in Montreal, Quebec, the daughter of Minnie Cummings Abbey and Monroe Abbey, a lawyer and onetime president of The Canadian Jewish Congress. She was the niece of Nathan Cummings and Maxwell Cummings. Sheila received a Bachelor of Science degree from McGill University in 1947 and married Alan Finestone (1923–1997). They had four sons: David (born 1950), Peter (born 1951), Maxwell (born 1954) and Stephen (born 1956).[1]
