A true servant of God, Shelia was a faithful and dedicated member of Clifford Baptist Church. She also attended other churches regularly, feeling right at home, no matter the denomination, throughout the surrounding counties.
To know Shelia was to love her. She was an incredible woman of indomitable spirit and strength. She had an unprecedented sense of family and a genuine love for people. Possessing an unapparelled sense of selflessness, and an ability to make you feel like family, her smile, humor, and laugh were infectious beyond measure.
