Sheila A Whaley-Batson, had generous spirit

Sheila A Whaley-Batson of Milton, departed this life Tuesday, July 19, 2016.

She was the daughter of Lillie B Whaley and the  late Alton T. Whaley. Sheila attended  Benjamin Banneker School, Milford Middle School, and graduated from Milford High School. She worked at  Milford Memorial Hospital, Steiners, Torches. She retired  from University of Delaware after 15 years due to her illness.  

Sheila will long be remembered for her big smile and generous spirit. She should have had a doctorate degree In giving advice and medical issues.  She was always ready to listen to you on the phone or in person.  The conversation would last for hours.

She loved music and that is what helped her get through many days.  She loved helping the BB2 doctors with many jobs. She also loved going to the slots. Sister Blanche called her "Road Dog."  She was a MSNBC junkie. She should have been a  political  analyst. She loved the Lord with all her heart and surrendered her life to Christ at a early age. Her favorite scripture was Psalm 23.
