Sheila was born a premature baby and spent the first weeks of her life in an incubator. When she reached 5 pounds she was able to come home. She was the most active baby and strong.
As she grew older she was very talkative and inquisitive, but above all, she was a loving child.
 
Sheila had her first Communion at St. Ignacious Church and was raised in Catholicism. She later visited Beulah Church and after hearing then, Elder Wilbur L. Jones preach, she accepted Jesus Christ and was baptized in Jesus Name at Beulah Church in 1986.

In 1987, Sheila gave birth to her first son Jonathan E. Miller and in 1998, she gave birth to her second son Jallal J. Waters. They were the joy of her life. They fortified her existence. Sheila’s main goal in life was to instill greatness in her sons. As a positive influence, Sheila furthered her education to show her sons that education is the key to success. Jonathan and Jallal were her princes; they motivated her to keep enduring until the end.
