Sheila was really looking forward to her hard-earned retirement. She had already made many plans with her great friends and family.

As many of you know she had a heart of gold but would never back down from her principals. She gave the best hugs and was never the first one to let go. Her infectious laugh, smile and beautiful kind eyes will be missed dearly.

Sheila’s favorite passage PSALMS 23

The LORD is my Shepard. I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me besides the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the path of righteousness for his name sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for you are with me; Your rod and Your staff and they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me. All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Loving, Kind, Honorable, Thoughtful, Happiness
