She earned an Associate Degree from Northwest Community College and worked as a dispatcher for two different trucking companies. Sheila was a member of Tula Baptist Church and enjoyed the Golden Prospectors group at New Prospect Baptist church for many years. She built many close relationships with her church family throughout the years. She was very dedicated to her family and spent the last years of her parent’s lives taking care of them. Great family relationships were very important to her and she spent time building those relationships with her siblings, with Dianna and Dawn, and with her grandchildren. One of the ways she strengthened family relationships was through travelling with her family members. She had visited almost every state in the U.S., as well as enjoyed several cruises. In addition to loving her family, Sheila was passionate about animals and had even hoped to be a veterinarian when she was younger. She raised and sold chickens, but her greatest love was her horses. She loved raising vegetables to sell at the farmer’s market or from her home. Her family remembers her as caring, hardworking, frugal, and loving. She was loved by everyone who knew her and would do anything in her power for anyone who needed help. Sheila is survived by her daughters, Dianna (Rickey) Britt and Dawn Wease; her sister, Sherry (Ahmad) Santina; her brother, Jerry (Linda) Cain; her grandchildren, Johnathan Cox, Abbie Britt, Courtney Britt, and Alivia Britt; and a host of nieces and nephews. Sheila was preceded in death by her husband, Danny Phillips; and her parents, Willie Thomas and Mildred Inez Cain. Please leave online condolences on the Tribute Wall at www.colemanfuneralhome.com.
