Mrs. Carwile passed away on Wednesday, July 23, 2025 at the Clay County Hospital. She was born in Ashland and was a lifelong resident of Clay County. A Graduate of Lineville High School in 1976, she began working out of high school at Higgins Slacks for 17 years in the Payroll department. Mrs. Carwile then began working at Russell Manufacturing for 16 years in the Human resources and safety and health departments. Eventually, Charles Higgins asked her to move back to Higgins until she retired in 2021. In her younger years, Mrs. Carwile and her husband loved traveling and spending time outdoors. They often would go white water rafting down the Ocoee River, and enjoyed camping. In her later years, she enjoyed oil painting and crocheting. Mrs. Shelia was also gifted musically, playing the bass guitar and keyboards. Along with her husband, they would often gather with friends and play music together, playing whatever came to their soul. Mrs. Carwile never met a stranger, was always outgoing and supportive. She took care of her coworkers and employees at Higgins, and was loving and faithful wife to her husband Mike. She will be dearly missed.
