Sheila Cresson Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Sheila was born in Nebraska as a Christmas baby. The holiday season had a little extra zest wherever her family was. She came to California as a teenager, graduating from Napa H.S. and moving on to Lone Mountain College and Eastern Michigan University.
She finally resettled in California in the 1970s, immediately became an always energetic and contributing member of the Coastside community. She spent most of her life as a schoolteacher – in Michigan, Australia and winding up her career with Cunha Middle School. She also worked in marketing research and at the Zaballa House Bed & Breakfast.
She became part of several of the finest local community service organizations and was probably most deeply committed to AAUW. To people in general and children especially, she always tried to give more of herself than she could ever receive.
Sheila passed quietly in her sleep due to heart failure
She leaves four sons -- Eddie and Sean Anderson and George and Dave Cresson -- their wives, ten adored grandchildren and a hopelessly in-love husband.
There will be a gathering at the Portuguese Cultural Center on Kelly Street, after the Mass.

I first met Sheila as we worked together at a preschool in El Granada. We hit it off immediately because we both had a sense of similar humor. Our husbands became good friends and from there it was all fun whenever we got together. I loved her then and still do...thinking of her often...what would Sheila do? I can hear her laugh!
