She was known as an efficient loan preparer and retired in 2010. After retirement she also served as the secretary to the Vermilion County War Museum. Everyone who met Sheila loved her. She was always sincere, caring, and so very wise. She was a super mom, and perhaps even a better grandma. She loved all of her many family members without reservation. She thoroughly enjoyed her beautiful lakeside home and boat rides with her husband and family. An excellent seamstress and a lover of all pets (especially Scarlett) were characteristics that never waned. She also loved decorating her home and helping others decorate as well. She also had an interest in photography. Sheila was a friend to everyone, but most of all, she was a loving wife who brought much joy and contentment to their home. Her husband, family and friends will miss her very much. Cremation rites will take place at Sunset Funeral Home and Cremation Center in Danville.
