Mom was a long time member of Merrill Hills CC and an incredible golfer, winning the club championship numerous times. She also won the Wisconsin State mother daughter championship with her daughter Kathleen. She was an accomplished bridge player and knitter and no one enjoyed life more than Sheila. Her wit and Irish charm will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
