Sheila Elkins Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Sheila grew up in Winslow, Indiana and graduated from Winslow High School class of 1968. Her favorite band was the Beatles. She loved playing her guitar, oil painting, star gazing, and crochet. Sheila loved to spend time with her family, over several years she spent a lot of time with her grandchildren, and was able to spend time with her great grandchildren in the last three years.
Sheila was preceded in death by her parents; two sisters, Susan Mose and Donna Phillips.
Sheila was survived by her daughter Tina (Danny) Stone; her grandchildren, Tyler (Sydney) Gross, Sarah Stone, Draven Pancake, and Maverick Pancake; her great grandchildren, Trinity Gross and Syler Gross; her sister Connie Foley; and many nieces and nephews.
The world lost a most loving soul. She left a light of love in each of us and we will continue to shine in her memory.
