I meet Sheila in the early 80's. She and I also worked volunteer EMS on the south end of Hilton Head. We had some really good times back then. I'm sorry to say as the years went by we lost touch. She really was a true friend when you are going thru rough times and need a shoulder. I am sorry to hear of her passing. I know she will be greatly missed. May god be with her family and friends.

I worked with Sheila at the fire department on Hilton Head for years. It was a sad day when she left the department. She is a wonderful person and has once again moved on to a better place.
My prayers are with her family.

Sheila was a very special person. When I started at Sea Pines Forest Beach Fire Department in 1980 she was running with the rescue squad on the island. A truly dedicated person to her craft. In the late 80's she came to work with us. What an assett she was. She was very proud of her children and kept me posted on Sean when he was wrestling professionally. Looking back in the 30 years I've known her I can't ever remember a time when she was in a bad mood. Always uplifting. A real pleasure to be around.
I am proud to say she was my friend that I knew and loved.
Thanks for the memories...

Sheila was one of the most wonderful people I have met and a delight to work with. Her joy of life and love of family, friends and animals was amazing. I am truly blessed to have known her and will miss her.

Sheila was a very special person.
We all enjoyed working with her, and miss her. We know she is now in a better place.
She gave everyone a beautiful Chirstmas card last year that depicted her pretty home, and all of her animals. I still have it, and will cherish it.
She was a sweet lady, and we are so sorry to lose her.
Sheila always spoke very highly of everyone in her family, and was very proud of all of her children.
We look forward to joining Sheila's family, and friends at her Celebration of Life.
Bernhardt and Strawser, PA.
