Sheila grew up in Wayland, MO, attended Wayland Grade School, graduating from Clark County R-1 High School with the class of 1971. She was a member of O'Donnell Camp # 9029, R. N.A. and a life-long member of the First Baptist Church in Wayland.

Sheila had been employed by Sheller Globe and also Armour Dial and by several retail stores including K-Mart and Pamida. She later worked at Running Fox Elementary and babysat in her home as long as her health permitted.

Sheila's life revolved around her family and friends. She loved bowling with her mom and friends and loved shopping trips with her mom as well. She especially enjoyed playing pranks on others. She looked forward to morning coffee with Lance and hot tea made by Scott. TV land was special to her and she dearly loved "Little House on the Prairie", "Gunsmoke", "Bonanza", "The Waltons" and especially "Andy Griffith". She always looked forward to attending church.

Always with a smile, and never one to complain, she always worried about others more than herself. She was most content when she could have all of her family around her where she could hear them talk and laugh. Her selflessness, bravery, and contentment she shared will be forever remembered by those who knew her.
