Sheila was a devoted, kind, giving, selfless, encouraging, humble, courageous and loving servant to all. She lived her life for Christ every day since accepting Him as her Lord and Savior in 1980. Sheila wrote beautiful Christian poetry and many were blessed to receive her poems at Christmas throughout the years. A Celebration of Life was held March 12, 2016 at the Church at Grace Park, White House, Tenn. with Bro. Bob Cook officiating. Sheila requested that all contributions please be made to the Christian Community School, 506 Hester Drive, White House, TN 37188 (in subject area note: in Honor of Shelia Brown). More important than anything else in life to her was Jesus and family. This school not only touches families but it furthers the Kingdom of Christ in daily activity.
