Sheila Renee Sims Obituary (1963

?Sheila Renee Sims, daughter of Will R. and Gail Holcomb Sims, was born in Madison, Indiana on July 9, 1963. She attended Pope John, Shawe Memorial and Southwestern Schools where she graduated. She was a trained vision tech and bookkeeper who understood insurance and billing. She worked first for her cousin, Dr. Robert Kirkpatrick, and later for Madison Vision until her illness disabled her. Sheila liked to have fun. She was witty and funny. She had beautiful hands. One of her favorite stories was, "I would have been a pianist but Mom sold the piano out from under my fingers." She loved getting kids together to have sleep-overs, watch special movies, and enjoy popcorn. Pictures of Sheila usually include children. Sheila's talents were varied. They included math, bookkeeping, and cross stitching. She crocheted a lovely heavy bed coverlet for her mother which is now considered an heirloom. Sheila was a wonderful cook. One of her specialties was homemade biscuits, sausage and gravy. She would follow a basic recipe and then add her own creative touches to make better than average main dishes, candy, and cakes. She enjoyed antiquing and had a "good eye" for spotting valuable things and getting them at a bargain. Sheila was a master at finding mushrooms and loved to go hunting for them with her Dad. Sheila had an abundance of good friends and close family members who helped her in many ways as her illness progressed. Sheila died peacefully on Monday, June 13, 2016, at King's Daughters' Health in Madison, Indiana.
