It is with great sadness to announce the passing of our loved one, Sheila Ann Mayes (59), a daughter, sister, mother, aunt, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend.

Sheila also worked for a long time as a Home Healthcare Aide in Pottstown, PA, and finally had her own private Day-Care. Sheila moved to Delaware 18 years ago to help care for her sister Karen's newborn twins. She was a gentle and nurturing caregiver to all the families she supported over the years. One thing for sure is, she loved to help her family and loved kids! Sheila continued her residency in Delaware up until her passing.
