As many of you know, Sheila was a force of nature; never to be under estimated. There wasn't a task too big nor a detail too small. Sheila was a jack of all trades, always working on something. She had a creative brilliant mind. From her earlier years enjoying her 40 acre horse farm, having the most beautiful flowers in the neighborhood, to being the best grandma to her precious grandkids, her life was full and complete.
Sheila's most important role here on earth was being a child of God. Deep peace came from knowing that she had led her family to know the Lord.
Sheila worked hard her entire life. She owned the Snow Lake Convenience Store (now the Hang Out), a dispatcher for the sheriffs department, a general manager who helped launch the first Angola Walmart, a seamstress, a florist for Bakers Acres, a Rise bus driver and so much more.
She was born on January 21, 1944 in New Castle, Indiana.
Sheila attended Orland School and graduated from Fremont High School.
