Sheila attended Carmel R.C. School, and later The Carnegie School of Home Economics, she was an excellent cook, and was always looking to feed any and everyone she came into contact with.
The first words out of her mouth when she met you were, “did you have something to eat”.

She also instilled in them the importance of education, you would always find her in the nearest Library with her brood and many others, as her doors were always opened to everyone in the neighborhood, and beyond. Sheila always faced difficulty with a smile and never complained a day in her life. She brought out the best in everyone she met, one by one most of her children migrated to the United States and she followed them there as well.
