Sheila Smithey, born on November 30, 1970, in the United States, passed away on January 2, 2026, in Herndon, Pennsylvania. She was 55 years old.
Sheila's life was one of deep devotion to her family and quiet joys that brought her peace. She shared over three decades of marriage with her beloved husband, Matthew Smithey Sr., building a life rooted in love and togetherness. Sheila was a proud and loving mother to three children: Steven, April, and Matthew Jr., and she found immense joy in being a grandmother to Jesse, Tommas, Paige, Isabella, Oliver, and Zander. Her presence in their lives was a source of warmth and comfort.
She is also remembered with love by her sister, Dawn Lubold; her brother, Clair Lubold Jr.; and many nieces and nephews who cherished her kindness and steady support. Sheila's parents, Carolyn Lubold (Briner) and Clair Lubold Sr., preceded her in death and now welcome her into eternal rest.
Sheila had a special bond with her grandchildren and treasured every moment spent with them. Whether it was sharing stories or simply enjoying their company, those times were among her most cherished. In quieter moments, she found relaxation through coloring—a simple pleasure that reflected her gentle spirit.
Sheila will be missed dearly by her loved ones. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. May the love she gave so freely continue to bring comfort to those she leaves behind.
