Sheila was a Great friend of our family and the DeMauro family has been a big part of our family before I was even born. Sheila was the proud matriarch and core of the DeMauro family, and you can see her personality has been a major influence on each child in her family. She was always a fun, spontaneous, caring, generous, ball of energy, who was Loved throughout the Bensenville community for many decades. If you knew Sheila, you could not help but to Love her. She had a larger than life personality, and she always lived life the way she wanted. She was like a second mother to our family, because back then, everyone in the neighborhood looked out for each other. She was my mom´s best friend, and I would have to say she was a best friend to many more.
There is never a good time to lose friends in your life and no matter when it happens, it is always too soon.
One thing I can say is that Sheila got to live a full life, and always lived life her way. Sheila will be missed tremendously, but we can rest knowing she has her husband, son, grandson, and many Great friends waiting to greet her at heavens gates.
She was definitely One of a kind, and will stay in our hearts forever.
Sheila, you will be missed by many and Loved by all! God bless you and we will see each other again some day.
Love and Thanks for who you were to me and our family.

Denise, Judy, Jimmy and Dena, I have nothing but fond memories of your mom, Sheila. She was one of the finest and funniest Moms on our block, with a laugh that was contagious. Our families were blessed to have friends like her and your dad. I will always cherish the memories growing up in Bensenville with the Mom gang.
