Sheila was preceded in death by her beloved son, Clifford Ryan Talbert (2012); her mother, Mildred Talbert (2020); and her father, Kenneth Talbert, Sr. (2023). Both of her parents were born in Salisbury, North Carolina. Her father honorably served his country in the United States Air Force for 20 years.

Sheila leaves to cherish her memory her two brothers, Kenneth Talbert II and Warren Talbert, along with a host of extended family members and loved ones.

Sheila was a graduate of Central Davidson High School in Lexington, North Carolina, Class of 1974. Following graduation, she relocated to Sacramento, California, one of the places she proudly called home. Another place especially close to her heart was Jacksonville, Florida, where she also created many meaningful memories.

Sheila was the beloved granddaughter of Alberta and General Talbert, her paternal grandparents, and Blanche and Alfred Schenkel, her maternal grandparents, all of whom preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by her devoted aunts and uncles who played meaningful roles throughout her life. Those aunts include Dorothy Talbert, Evelyn Roberts, Kiwana Crump and Norma Williams; and those uncles include Wayne Talbert, Paul Talbert and Don Talbert.

She is lovingly remembered by her surviving aunts: Brenda Talbert, Irma Talbert and Betty J. Talbert; and her surviving uncle, Dwight Talbert, who continue to cherish her memory.

A memorial service will be Friday at Roberts Funeral Service at 1:30pm.
