Sheila was born in Shelbyville, TN to the late James Charles and Anna Turner Smith. Sheila grew up in the beautiful little community of Awalt, in the gently rolling hills of Franklin County.

During her life, Sheila touched many lives as a caregiver. In addition to her three children, she impacted the lives of many other children who came through her door. In later years she cared for the elderly while working at Home Instead. She was very focused on providing them with the care they needed. Sheila was also a beloved member of First Baptist Church in Tullahoma. She enjoyed helping in the community, and loved going places with her children, and the countless adventures she had over the years with her sister, friends, and many cousins. Sheila is survived by her son, Thomas Bevel; daughters, Cynthia Bevel and Lee Ellen Bevel; one sister, Donna Gosnell; niece: Kelly Troutt (Paul); nephew, Andrew Gosnell (Mandi); and great-nieces and nephews Luke, Katherine, and Harrison.
