Grandma Sheila was an inspiring and accomplished woman and she helped those around her to achieve as well. She sparked and encouraged my interest in reading from a very young age. Every year for my birthday she would send books for me to read, and it was something I always looked forward to. Some of my fondest memories were driving to the city to pick her up and go out to dinner at RJ Grunts or breakfast at Ann Sathers - both of which restaurants she was known by all the employees and greeted with the warmest of welcomes. She will be missed by the family and always fondly remembered.

I have fond memories of picking Sheila up to go to visit her late husband Everett at the cemetery. I know how much it meant to her to spend time with him. Now they are reunited and together again. I was pleased to hear that Sheilaâ??s passing was peaceful and transpired shortly after a virtual visit from her family. Sheila never had an unkind word to say about anybody and she was always a pleasure to be around. The care and comfort Steve and family provided for her right through to the end was a blessing and guidepost to live by. God Bless.

Grandma Sheila was someone that I wish I knew better. She was involved in the life of my sister, Sari Sachnoff, and I as children and then the relationship grew apart later in life because of college and activities. I remember she would also send me books on my birthday, encouraging me to expand my knowledge and learn. I am very grateful for the role she played in my life at an early age. She is in a better place now resting peacefully next to my grandpa Everett.

As I sit here reflecting on my memories of Sheila so many come to mind. I feel blessed to have known her for over 30 years. What really forms my memories of her as a person was her pure devotion to family. Specifically, for the sacrifice of time she carved out for me on behalf of my family. I remain forever grateful! I admired Sheila for her bravery, strength, and intellect. She was opinionated but never uttered an unkind word about anyone. If I had to describe her in one word dignified comes to mind. I will cherish all the Sundays we spent on the boat, holidays, trips to the cemetery and the many years of conversations while at family get togethers, restaurants or strolling through your favorite museums. Sheila, the last few years have been difficult to watch. However, the love you gave and the memories I have will remain eternal gifts. You will be missed. Rest In Peace!
