Sheila was born on December 18, 1969 to Gary and Debra (Reiners) McCollar.

She started nursing school and became an LPN at Terrace Manor nursing home in Dell Rapids, SD., an office manager for Dr. Fred Harris at Dakota Surgical in Sioux Falls,SD., and later ended her nursing career at Urology Specialists in Sioux Falls, SD. Sheila changed careers and started working at Midwest Landscape Supply in Harrisburg, SD., then ended her career working at Lawn Pro Inc in Tea, SD. Sheila took great pride in her work.

Sheila enjoyed fishing, going to concerts, watching and playing sports, working outdoors, and most of all spending time with her children, grandchildren, and friends. She was known as a kindhearted woman who put everyone before herself and had the most beautiful, contagious smile and laugh. Also, admired for her inner strength and will to fight.
