Besides her love of animals, she had a fierce love of children. Nothing put a bigger smile on her face than when she was with those she called her family, adopted children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Miller; Carson P. Miller; great great nephews and nieces, Landon, Hudson, Hunter, Arthur and Autumn, Benjamin and Noah, Thatcher, Mylee, Maryn, Olivia, and Scout. cousin, Mary Lou Jones; and her niece in law, Nancy Miller.

Sheila also leaves behind to mourn her loss her best friend and confidant of over 40 years, Delores Beede. It may seem like a non-traditional family unit from the outside, but Sheila’s bond with Dee’s children, grandchildren and great grandchildren is no different than if they’d been related by blood.  Surviving as if they were her own are children,  John Beede (Elizabeth), Diane Pietrzak (Joe), Heather Beede (Jim); grandchildren, Joey (Aaryn), John III (Solstice), her goddaughter, Jennifer (Mark), Danielle (Joe), Paige (Matt) and Fallon; great grandchildren, Brielle, Makenna, Joey III, Irelynn, Ashton, Aislynn, Layla and Delaney.  

Sheila was dedicated to her family and always came through in times of need, no matter the circumstances.  You could always count on her to help you out, she is truly missed.
