She worked for Attorney Rick Oliver for many years. Sheila had a passion for going on cruises with her best friend Patricia Groves, crocheting blankets, Bluebonnets, helping people, fishing, and most of all spending time with her family.

She was preceded in death by her parents Harvey Shamblin and Anna Cameron. Stepfather Garland Rutherford, husband Donald Leisinger, and her brother Kenneth Shamblin.

She left a legacy of always going above and beyond for any person she met. She could find a friend anywhere she went and made sure they felt heard. She helped with numerous school activities or sporting events for her children as they were growing up. When her son Chris joined the Army, she wore the title of Army Mom proudly and was very proud of his service to our country. She loved to watch Stephanie become a mom and loved to tell her “You open your mouth, and your mother comes out” any time one of her grandkids did something silly or out of line.

She was a second mom to so many and always made sure to treat them as her own. Her time here on earth will forever be cherished and her memory will forever be with us. Her final words would have been “I’ll love you forever. I’ll love you for always, as long as I’m living, my baby you will be!”
