On Saturday, June 9, 2012, our beloved Sheila peacefully passed away, unexpectedly, at her home in Suitland, MD. Sheila was born in Washington, DC, on September 13, 1958, to Peggy Parker and the late Jay Dee Parker.

In the early 1970's, Sheila gave her life to Christ and became a member of the Peace Baptist Church, where she sang in the choir, served on the Usher Board, and later taught Sunday School for many years, until her death.
Sheila was employed at XL, Inc., as a Grant Management Specialist; worked many years for FEMA, as a Grant Development Officer, and once worked as a secretary at the Veterans Administration Hospital.
