She worked at the school cafeteria for many years. She enjoyed the interactions with students. She was well liked by her coworkers, the students and staff. She left this job in 2011 to become a full time memaw. She was the best memaw and always loved to attend her grandkids' school activities. They were her world. She loved her dog, Pepper, so much that she hated to leave home without her.

Sheila had three great loves in her life besides her family, they were the Dallas Cowboys, and her country and Texas. She was one of the biggest Dallas Cowboy fans, she never missed a game. If someone called during the games, she would have them call back. Everyone knew not to say anything bad about her team. She loved to watch sunsets, the clouds and the stars. She was very patriotic and loved wearing red, white, and blue as often as possible. She was proud of her country and the state of Texas. She always wished she would have been born in Texas rather than Kansas.
