Yvonne Engwall Sheline

I’m sorry for the family’s loss. Please accept my condolences.

My best wishes to the Sheline family. It was my pleasure and privilege to know not only Ray as major professor, but some of the children (at the time, esp. Yvette, Ray and Jonathon) through the rental house we used. Yvonne was the "lynchpin" of the family and a grand lady. My condolences and best wishes to all.

I still can not believe my Mom has really left us.
She has always been there for me, with her love and encouragement surrounding me like a big warm blanket.

My mom sometimes used to say in KiKongo: “Impila ingudi wena”, which means….. in an indearing way: what a child you are, to which we learned to say: “Impella Muwana wena” which means what a Mother you are…...and what a Mother she was: Hope Spivey Stevenson recently said: “She was a force of nature: an intelligent, caring,...

I can't help but feel that my Mom, Corinne,had a hand in Yvonne's
passing. They were so devoted to each other that my Dad, Antonio, used to call them twins. Corinne missed Yvonne so much that their mother, Ruth,let Yvonne skip a grade to enable them to be together. So dear to Yvonne, Corinne made sure that Uncle Ray was not alone as her condition
deteriorated. Just by chance, maybe, both Carmen and Mark were in
Sanibel vacationing. By shear coincidence, Aunt Elaine was coming to...

Uncle Ray and Cousins,
Anyone who knew her at all will realize what a huge loss her death is...Uncle Ray could not have had a more supportive wife, and the kids could not have had a more attentive mom. She will be sorely missed.
I am very sorry for your loss.
Love,
Susan

Dear Ray and children
All my condolences on your loss of a wonderful wife and mother. Yvonne was one of a kind who always
showed compassion and love to her loved ones and friends.
She will be very much missed by many of us in the science departments at F.S.U.

To all the Shelines,

I speak on behalf of my sister, Nancy Lewis, and my brother, Randy Lewis, in expressing our empathy for the loss of Mrs. Sheline.

Your family left a mark on all of three of us that will never be forgotten, even if we did not know your mother. Obviously, she was an incredible person.

Much love,

Dear Ray and children -- We were so sorry to hear about Yvonne. Having several out of town family for Easter, we were unable to attend services. You all were blessed to have had such a quality person in your lives for so many years. We will miss her. Our love and condolences to the entire family. -- Neil

She leaves an inspiring legacy.
