Sheila Lynn Tagliarini

March 24, 1952 - June 3, 2009

Our shining "STAR" is gone.

Sheila Lynn Tagliarini passed in the comfort of her own home June 3, at 5:30 a.m., after her two-year battle with cancer.

Born Sheila Lynn Willis on March 24, 1952, Sheila was a native to Fairfield. She attended Fairfield High School and graduated in 1970. She retired from HFC as a senior loan officer in 1984.

Sheila had a passion for nature and tremendously enjoyed the outdoors, and captured it through photography. Hiking, cruising, ballroom dancing and physical fitness were among some of her favorite hobbies. Sheila always had a positive outlook on life and the memory of her strength and wisdom is a gift to all who knew her.

She is survived by her partner/husband of 32 years, Joseph Tagliarini; her daughter, Jodi Spencer; her granddaughter, Ashley Miller; her sister, Kathy Hymer; and many extended family and friends.

A Celebration of Life will be held on June 30 at 9:30 a.m. at Bryan Braker Funeral Home, 1850 W. Texas St., Fairfield, 425-4697. Please sign the guest book online at www.bryanbraker.com.

Sheila......I remember you too well. Your cute little smile and sweet disposition. You were always very kind to this very awkward teenager and I will remember you fondly for the goodness in your heart. I never knew you after HS but you certainly made quite an impression, and I have to say, a very positive one on this boy. HS was a very difficult time for me but knowing you made it so much more bearable. I thank you for your kindness and sweet little smile that I will always remember. I only wish I could have known you as an adult. I think we could have had some fun girl!!! Rest cause we are all destined for eternal rest sometimes. Your time came just a little earlier than some of ours. I know my time will be up sometimes but I want to enjoy every moment of life that God gives me. Life is a very precious thing and the only thing that I can say is that I only wish I had discovered that earlier in life. The past is exactly that the past. We now only have the present and we need to enjoy each moment that we are gifted. Take care dear friend. It was certainly nice knowing you :)

Kathy and Family:
I was so sorry to hear about Shelia's passing. She was a sweetie and she and I were great friends out there in Willotta for some time. It's strange how some things in life happen that change our friendships and that was the case with Sheila and I as I do not remember what occured to put such a wedge on our friendship but at some point in high school we stopped being friends and I am sorry for that. I hope that all is well with you and I must tell you my memory of Shelia always talking about how much she admired you and looked up to her big sister. We were in Rainbow Girls together as well and she was so proud of your accomplishments. Take care and blessings to your family in this great loss.
Joie
