I readily recall Sheilah as being very bright, a conscientious student, and always a very feminine lady. She had a sweet and friendly nature. Perhaps I remember her best for her wonderful soprano singing voice. She sang one of the solos in the chorus" Christmas Messiah our senior year. That girl could really sing! I always admired her ladylike demeanor. I am sure Sheilah was loved by all who knew her. She was the lucky girl who reunited with a classmate at one of the reunions and got married===if I have that story straight. She's missed by all.
