Sheila was a beautiful woman, but more important she was a beautiful mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and person.

Born to Irish Ancestry, Sheila had the opportunity to visit the Emerald Isle and meet relatives that she kept in touch with. After traveling among the United States and abroad with her husband and children, they eventually settled down in Fresno, California where they built a beautiful and fulfilling life. Sheila became very active in the Fresno community and quickly became known as the woman who had never met a stranger.

In her early years, Sheila was a budding entrepreneur, starting businesses in real estate, home decor and retailing children’s clothing, inspired by her grandchildren. Later, retiring to spend her time with the people she loved the most, her family and friends.

Sheila had such a love for life and experiences. She enjoyed spending time with her friends, golfing, and traveling to new and exciting places. She was often seen modeling the latest fashions for local area clothiers and hosting gatherings to celebrate life events. She also spent time creating countless and unforgettable memories with her children and grandchildren.

Sheila is loved by her friends and family for her tremendous heart, outgoing personality, and zest for life. Her departure has created a deep wound, and it is gravely felt by her entire family and countless others who loved her deeply in her wide network of community. She will be immensely missed by all those who knew and loved her.

The family wishes to give special thanks to Dr. Ali Fayed, her primary care physician, as well as his medical team for providing loving care to Sheila over the many years of this progressive disease.
