Sheila found solace and inspiration in her faith as an active member of Rays Chapel Baptist Church. Her deep spirituality guided her every step, providing her strength during the most challenging times. Beyond her professional and religious commitments, Sheila embraced life with an infectious enthusiasm. She found joy in the simple pleasures, whether it was cheering on her favorite Nascar drivers or admiring the vibrant blooms in her husband's garden.
