Sheila loved music and in her youth played the clarinet. She was a majorette at the University of Southern Mississippi, where she was a member of the renowned Dixie Darlings. She had an enduring welcoming spirit and cultivated life-long meaningful friendships through her interest in sewing, her work with the Florida Hospital and Florida Hospital Foundation and in her membership and leadership with the state and national Mothers of Twins Club organization.
