Sheila Smith

Sheila Smith, age 69, passed away peacefully May 12, 2019, after a long and courageous battle with multiple sclerosis. She was born on Sept. 14, 1949, in Butler, Pa. to the late Kathleen and William Cress. She was happily married for 45 years to her devoted husband Wayne Smith.
Sheila grew up in Connoquenessing, Pa., graduating from Butler High School. Following her graduation, she held a number of career positions but gladly relinquished her work life to become a loving and compassionate wife, mother and grandmother. She treasured her children and grandchildren, especially loving her role as “Grammy.” She had a vivacious personality with a passion for sewing, crafting and all things fashion.
Sheila is survived by her husband, Wayne, and three daughters: Britta Manges (Brad) of Valencia, Pa.; Marissa Coleridge (Brian) of Chesterland, Ohio; and Keira Koscumb (Steve) of Oakmont, Pa. She is also survived by one brother and one sister. Sheila was the proud grandmother of Kinley, Reed and Haven.
A celebration of Sheila’s life will be held at Intersection Community Church, 120 Walker Avenue, Butler, Pa. on Saturday, May 25, 2019, beginning at 11 a.m. with Pastor Fred Kison, officiating.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 262 Danny Thomas Place, Memphis, TN 38105 are welcome.
