Sheila is also survived by her many nieces and nephews who loved her dearly as well as her co-workers and Facebook family. She was always so proud of so many people and wasn't shy about telling everyone how proud she was and how much she loved us all. Her unexpected passing is a great loss to so many people but the wonderful memories we all have will help us get through this difficult time in our lives. She was my aunt and I didn't get to see her very often as we grew up and started our own lives but we always had some form of contact through the years and it was comforting knowing that she was just a text or message away for anything that I needed. And even with her passing she still manages to instill the importance of family and friends and to hold them close and tell them how proud we are and how much they are loved. We'll all miss you aunt sheila, every day, but we'll never forget how you touched so many lives and we are all better people for having known you as a friend and family. Go in peace and know we will always remember you. Always and Forever, you niece Stephanie

Was with her for 17 years. We had some good times and not so good times. She loved her big trucks she even went on a couple of trips with me. But some of the best times was on Holidays and had all the kids home. She would make sure there was plenty of food we would spend hours getting it ready. She always had an open door and was more than happy to welcome whoever came by. If you went away hungry it was your fault. She even had enough for the kids to take leftovers home. She really loved it when all the kids and grandkids would sit around for a bit and chat with her. Her 3 kids were the light of her life. She loved them with all her heart. She would try to help whenever she could and try to help talk about whatever problems they had.
