Sheila was a chef at Affton High School for many years. She spent several years as the Treasurer and a coach at the Dupo Quarterback Club. Sheila's life was being there supporting the kids any way that she could, including coaching several teams, for many years.

She was granted an additional nine years of life by the grace of God and the advancements of science. The last few years brought on health issues that restricted her activities. However, she was able to accomplish her dream of going to Florida and seeing the Gulf of America and the dolphins

She was preceded in death by her parents, Billy Gene and Effie Mae, nee Heatley, McClure; and two brothers, William and Richard "Ricky" McClure.
