Sheila met spouse
Peter Donaldson while doing an
aerobics warm-up (she was the instructor) while in a punk-rock
production of "Godspell" at the Grand Theatre in London, Ontario in
1983. With Donaldson (whose father was a Commodore of the Canadian
Steamship Line), she had two daughters: one born in 1992 and one born
in 1988. Before Donaldson's death, they lived in Stratford, Ontario in
a century-old home that is known to be free of "bohemian exuberance" -
Ridpath sofas, club chairs, oriental carpets. The one concession to
McCarthy's whimsy is the stainless steel and chrome-clad kitchen with
the ceiling covered in retro pressed-tin squares. In the summer of
2004, she played in "Guys and Dolls" and "Anything Goes" in the
Stratford Festival.
