Sheila touched the lives of so many. Her family came first, her greatest joy in life was being a Grandma. Sheila would sacrifice herself to ensure all of us were cared for. She taught us the true meaning of family, unconditional love & loyalty. Urged us to shoot for the stars.

Her passions were gardening, crafts & sewing. Watching horror movies and reading mysteries. Trips to Boston & exploring other cities with her husband Warren when was a truck driver.

Sheila was full of life, enjoyed joking around, and was quick with a comeback. She would rather donate instead of sell, give instead of take, laugh instead of cry, and celebrate instead of mourn.

Sheila retired from JAG at Offutt Air Force Base in Bellevue, NE in the claims division. Previously employed at Immigration & Naturalization in Omaha, NE. During her career, she received numerous awards & certificates of excellence.

“A limb has fallen from the family tree that says grieve not for me. Remember the best of times, the laughter, the song, the good life I lived while I was strong.”
