Sheila Kay Kile

She was born with Downs Syndrome and attended a number of special schools in her young life. She was happy and a joy to be around because of her laughter and glee over the simple things in life.

She loved jewelry, music and dancing, as she pretended that she was an actress or star. She also had a number of favorite television shows, which she knew the day and time that they came on. She especially loved meal times with her extended family and celebrating holidays and birthdays of each family member with cake and ice cream.

She had her share of physical and emotional challenges through the years and especially the last five years when dementia's darkness took a lot of her personality's brightness and spark, but the memories of how she was most of her life will comfort those of us that loved her so. A sincere thanks to Sheila's caregiver and special friend, Arlanda Bass, who helped take loving care of her in the last years.

She is survived by her mother, Shelba Fox Kile; sister, Lisa Kile Mainer and husband, John; nieces, Maghann Young and children, Jesse, Nick and Bridget; Lindsey Mainer.

She was preceded in death by her older infant sister, Becky Lynn Kile; her father, Doylin Kile; grandparents, Hershel and Essie Kile; and Joseph and Mrytie Fox.
