After graduating high school, she pursued a career in healthcare, earning her nursing degree and later becoming a nurse practitioner. Her passion for understanding and helping others also led her to earn a bachelor's degree in psychology from Southern Illinois University. Sheila married her childhood neighbor and lifelong love, George Gumerman III, son of Josephine and Dr. George Gumerman II. Together, they built a life centered on family, kindness, and service. She is lovingly survived by: George Gumerman III, Jan Horner and husband Jack, George Gumerman IV, Silke Kapela and husband Jeff, Steven Gumerman Sr. and wife Pamela, Jasmine Otte, George Gumerman V, Steven Gumerman Jr. Madison Feder and husband Austin, Benjamin Gumerman, andnd last, but NOT least, Sylvie Otte. In her later years, Sheila and George made their home in Flagstaff, Arizona, where Sheila continued her lifelong mission of helping others. She volunteered with hospice care, helped at the local grade school, supported the local food bank, and was always ready to assist fellow residents at The Peaks with a warm smile and a healing hand. The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Sherry, Rebecca, the staff at The Peaks, the Northern Arizona Hospice staff, and so many others, whose compassionate care and support brought comfort and dignity to Sheila in her final days. Sheila was a kind soul who always saw the good in people. Her unwavering positivity and inspirational spirit touched everyone she met, and she will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. In lieu of flowers, donations in Sheila's name can be made to the Museum of Northern Arizona.
