Sheila Ann (Routte) Dunn

Sheila was preceded in death by her parents, Donald Wayne Sr. and Virginia Routte, and her brother, Donald Wayne Routte Jr. She is lovingly survived by her daughters, Casey Leigh Dunn and Whitney Michelle Dunn; her sisters, Pamela (John) Spear, Amber (Tim) Rice, and Diana Routte; nieces and nephews, Donald Wayne Routte III, Collin (Cathie) Gage, Alexis (Morgan Ries) Rice, and Kennedy Rice; great niece, Sophia Gage; great nephew, Festus Williams; and a soon-to-arrive great nephew. She also leaves behind her dear friend, Tammy Helton, along with many other cherished friends and extended family members.

Sheila lived a life marked by kindness, dedication, and love. A graduate of Teays Valley High School and Columbus State Community College, who played clarinet and oboe in high school, she held a lifelong passion for music, especially musicals, and was a calming presence to those around her. Sheila enjoyed showing horses in her younger years, was an avid euchre player, and found deep joy in spending time with her family.

Professionally, Sheila dedicated over 30 years of service as a Respiratory Therapist at Madison Health, where she was known for her skill, compassion, and tireless work ethic. Above all, she was a devoted and loving mother who always put her daughters first.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, May 17, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Schoedinger Grove City, 4242 Hoover Rd., where a service will follow at 1:00 p.m. A private graveside will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to her daughter Casey to assist with funeral expenses.

Sheila will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew and loved her.
