A spot they liked in Northern Wisconsin was Lac du Flambeau. When they were there, they enjoyed fishing and hunting. Other places Sheila and Orville have been to include Hawaii, California, and Mexico.
Sheila enjoyed cooking and baking. She always took care of her family and loved spending every moment she could with them. Sheila also enjoyed dancing and was an avid Elvis Presley fan.
