Sheila Dianne Kelleher, age 74, of Alpharetta, Georgia, passed away on September 25, 2026. Born in Atlanta, Georgia on December 18, 1951, she was the beloved daughter of Jo Ann Michael Mullins and Lucius Emerson Mullins.
Sheila had a true zest for life and lived each day to the fullest. She was one of the kindest, most generous, and caring people anyone could know. She had an extraordinary ability to see the best in everyone she met and was always willing to go above and beyond to help others and make their lives better. Those fortunate enough to have known her will forever remember her as warm, giving, and compassionate, always ready to lend a hand or offer words of encouragement.
Sheila faced Parkinson’s disease with remarkable courage, grace, and determination. While the disease presented many challenges, it never defined her. Her strength, resilience, and enduring kindness remained a source of inspiration to her family, friends, and caregivers.
A dedicated and hardworking professional, Sheila spent 50 years as an X-ray technician. She worked tirelessly, serving in a doctor’s office during the week and in a hospital emergency department on weekends, touching countless lives through her commitment and care.
Sheila was also a passionate and loyal sports fan, proudly cheering on the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta Braves. She held season tickets for 36 years, a testament to her loyalty and love for her teams.
Above all else, Sheila found her greatest joy in raising and caring for her son, Jordan. Her love for him was unconditional and unwavering, and she often told him, “You are my sunshine.”
Sheila was preceded in death by her parents, Jo Ann Michael Mullins and Lucius Emerson Mullins. She is survived by her beloved son, Jordan Kelleher, and her brother, Jerry Dowling. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew and loved her.
