Sheila Elizabeth Beene

She was born in Hughes, Arkansas on April 26 of 1968.

She leaves behind her mother Liz Gravette, and husband, Malcolm of Hackett, Arkansas. Her Father, Wayne Beene and wife Betty of West Memphis, Arkansas. Her brothers Scott (Pam) of Pittsburg, PA and Mark (Heather) of Fort Smith, AR. Her nieces Alyssa (Justin) Allbright, Katie (Dylan) Beene, and Lorelai Beene. Her nephews Ethan Beene and Caleb Beene. Her half-sister, Amy Beene and her children Destiney and Brandon. Many close aunts, uncles and cousins. Her fur baby children, Maxwell and Alley Cat of Fort Smith, Arkansas. And her angel kitty, Peepers, who I have no doubt has reunited with Sheila.

Sheila also lived in Memphis TN, Broken Arrow OK, Stillwater OK, Austin TX, and finally Fort Smith.

Sheila had a rich career in IT and Project Management. In her most recent position, she was an IT Specialist for the Department of Veterans affairs.

She loved to travel the world, curl up with a good book, learn new languages, can pickles and tomatoes, Friday night pizza and games, looking for new recipes, being with her family and being a momma to Alley Cat and Max.

“Where shall we see a better daughter, a kinder sister or a truer friend”
