July 15, 1960 - November 11, 2018

LANIER, Sheila A., age 58, of Waynesville passed away at her residence, Sun., Nov. 11, 2018, surrounded by her loved ones. Sheila was a member of the Waynesville High School, class of ’78. For nearly 15 years, she worked at Ellis Super Value in Waynesville. Sheila was beautiful inside and out. As someone who was very family oriented, her life was all about her kids and especially her grandkids. She could be a little ornery at times, never hesitating to speak her mind, but was loved by many and had numerous close friends. She cherished her grandmother and anything that reminded her of her grandparents. She greatly enjoyed fishing and traveling to Florida to visit the beach, especially Venice Beach and Clearwater Beach. She was preceded in death by her father Don Wisecup. She is survived by her husband of 38 years, Howard; two daughters Amanda Burnett and Laura Lanier; son-in-law, but more like a son, Eli Burnett; five grandchildren Samantha, Lane, Jackson, Noah, and Uriah; her mother Mabel Walker; and one brother Allen Wisecup. A celebration of life service will be held 2:00 PM Sun. Nov. 18 at the Waynesville American Legion Post 615. Jason Monnin will be officiating the service. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made directly to Sheila's husband toward the funeral expenses, the raising of their grandson, and loss of work during the past several months. Stubbs-Conner Funeral Home in Waynesville is serving the family. Condolences at www.stubbsconner.com.
