Sheila was born on June 15, 1955 to parents Walter and Mary Ann (Mayta) Enyart in Kansas City, MO. She obtained her primary education at Nativity BVM Catholic Church and School. She attended Van Horn High School and graduated in 1973. She was a graduate of the LPN program at the Kansas City Board of Education, which was the only program available at the time. Later, she attended a bridge program at Park University to obtain her RN. She worked at Research Medical Center in the ER from 1976 to 1992. In 1977, while working, she met Bob Roth after he brought a patient to the ER. In 1978, she married him and they spent the next 42 years together. In 1992, she became a Certified Flight Nurse and worked for Spirit of Kansas City Life Flight until 1993 when she survived a tragic helicopter crash where she lost the use of her legs and her career as a nurse. After the crash, she became a guest instructor at C.J.C.F.P.D. in their training program where she instructed classes for E.M.T. and Paramedic Certification. She retired from instructing in 2004 due to health complications resulting from the crash.
