Obituary

Sheree Kinlyside’s story began on 17th July 1955, when she was born in Young, New South Wales, to parents Elizabeth and Alan.

Sheree lived and travelled widely before eventually settling in Townsville, where she raised her two children, Robby and Jorgia, alongside their father, Merv McAllister.

Sheree made many contributions to the local community, particularly through the arts. She was a deeply passionate artist who spent many years exploring different mediums, learning, sharing and teaching. Her focus eventually turned to traditional printmaking, a practice she spent many years perfecting, building her collection and making contributions and connections locally and internationally.

Sheree married Alan Carpenter on 8th July 2006. Together, they spent twenty years nurturing their collective family, creating a loving and warm home, and sharing their appreciation and love of art.

Sheree will be deeply missed and always remembered by all who knew her.

On behalf of her husband Alan, his sons Lewis and Sam, and Robby and Jorgia, we encourage you to share your thoughts and memories, helping to keep Sheree’s memory and legacy alive.

A small gathering of friends and family was held at Sheree and Alan's home, a simple but touching tribute to a life well lived in surroundings that hold so many treasured memories.

It was a celebration, and also an opportunity to discuss further memorial plans to be arranged in the coming weeks. Notice of dates and venues will be provided in the coming days.

Thank you to all that came to contribute.
