Sheila’s proudest accomplishments were her children and the relationships they all shared.  Her greatest joy was “cuddling” newborns in the Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit at AtlantiCare Medical Center and her biggest passion was dancing and singing with her beloved friends Dorothy and Marie.

There will be a Memorial Service at Assumption Church on Pitney Road at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, June 18.
