She was born in Biddeford on June 17, 1939, a daughter of Frank and Beatrice (Guay) Mogan.
Sheila was a graduate of Thornton Academy, Class of 1956. After high school she graduated from Mercy Hospital School of Nursing.
Sheila was an operating room nurse for Webber Hospital in Biddeford for 18 years. She also worked as a labor and delivery nurse for seven years at the Webber Hospital/Southern Medical Center. After her career in healthcare, she owned and operated a boutique in Portland for several years, worked in the University of New England bookstore and as a hostess for the Landing Restaurant in Kennebunkport.
Sheila found her passion with volunteering for the Biddeford City Theater as house manager, where she made many memories with friends that she continues to cherish today.
Most of all, Sheila loved her family and the time she spent with them. She enjoyed her children’s and grandchildren’s sporting events and activities. We remind ourselves that her life is one to be celebrated. Although we will miss her everyday, she will remain in our hearts forever. Every time we have a family event or gathering or even watch a Red Sox or Patriots game, we will smile and think of Sheila.
