Sheila was born on March 23, 1949, to Lester and Lila (Hove) Lalim and attended Tioga Public Schools, where she enjoyed cheerleading with her friends and playing drums in the Tioga High School Band.

During her years in Alaska, she held various jobs. She worked at Red Samm Construction and Enger Construction before starting her years in the legal field. One of the jobs that she was most proud of was working on the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Case for several years. In the early 2000s Sheila returned to her home state of North Dakota where she spent most of the rest of her life with a few years back in Alaska. She had her little “home on the hill” on Lalim land, which she loved.
Through the years, many things brought her joy, including taking photos, going for drives, collecting antiques, playing her Baby Grand Piano, and having her several dogs over the years that kept her company. She was a very proud “granny” and enjoyed watching her grandson Preston play sports. She was proud to be a Lalim and enjoyed a special relationship with God.
