Shelia was born March 2, 1948, in Jacks Creek, near Lexington, Tenn. She was married to Lynn VanDyke for 46 years. She attended Jackson Public School System.
Shelia will be most remembered for her joyful spirit and beautiful smile, and, of course, she loved to talk. She was a woman who had a very good sense of humor, who loved spending time with her family and friends. She had many hobbies such as ceramics, crocheting and gourmet cooking, just to name a few. Shelia was a very classy lady with impeccable style and taste, who never had a hair out of place.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Travis Sherrod and Raymell Smith; her grandparents, John and Mattie Arnold and Frank and Helen Sherrod; and her brother, Clarence Brown.
