I was married to Sheila´s first cousin Jeff Richards, and have fond memories of spending crazy, fun times with her when we were very young. Lots of laughs, and drive in movies from the back of an old pickup truck when she was in town. Many condolences to all who loved her, she will be remembered.

I worked with Sheila for many years when she was the Unit Secretary on the desk in the ER. If I wasn´t busy I would go help out. After awhile of us knowing each other she would ask me to trim her hair. She had long straight hair and then spiked on top. She was a truly good friend and on any day she
seen me she called me Crusty Jo;)))

She had a laugh that stood out! She helped make my teenage and young adult life blessed! Welcomed me with open arms. Fed all of us. And Lord knows she handled us and all of our attitudes! I´m certain Mandy and I caused some of those gray hairs! I will love her forever
