Sheila was an amazing spirit and a kind loving person. I worked at K Mart from 1984 to 1991. Throughout my High School and College years, Sheila was more than a Manager... Sheila was a teacher, a mentor and a friend who showed love and support as well as a guiding hand to help me learn my place in the working world.

Sheila was always ready with a hug and a show of support when it was most required.

She will truly be missed. but as long as I live, I will always be eternally grateful to her for the lessons she taught me.

My condolences go out to her immediate family as well as the extended family she touched over the years.

To David and Family,

I have wonderful memories of Sheila that I will keep with me forever. She was a wonderful person who had such love to give.

One particular memory I have was visiting my mother at work at K-Mart and taking a moment to go upstairs to say hi to Sheila. She always had a smile, a hug and sometimes some Tic-Tacs in her drawer to share.

She was a dear friend to my mother and to all those who knew her and will be missed terribly.
