Sheila grew up in Dayton. Until she went to Ohio State, where she met and fell in love with a young veterinary student. She couldn't cook at all when they got married, but she became a very accomplished cook as the years went on. Sheila worked as a secretary for many years, then she went to classes to become a veterinary technician. She loved that work and was proud of her accomplishments. She got to work with her husband. And she got to work with animals. She enjoyed entertaining, especially in the summertime with the pool open. So many people have commented on her smile, her easy laughter and her merry heart.
