Sheila Marie Vanisko, born March 27, 1939, in Butte, MT, passed away peacefully in Anaconda, MT, on October 13, 2025.
A loving and caring woman, Sheila found joy in the simple pleasures of life, especially being with family, her faith, and Sunday drives around the local area. Those who knew her well will forever remember her as one of the kindest people to have ever graced their lives.
