JoAnne M. Sheils (nee Dachel) passed away July 21, 2024 surrounded by family.
She was a wonderful mother and grandmother who was involved in her grandchildren’s lives attending everything from soccer games to weddings. She cooked a mean shrimp scampi and hosted parties for 25 or more people without batting an eye.
She was preceded in death by her husband, William Sheils, parents Blanche and Fred Dachel, brothers Roger and Richard Dachel and her beloved Maltese, Harry. She is survived by her sister Carol Dachel, Chippewa Falls, WI, her children, Kathy and Tom Stallings, Houston TX, Mike and Pat Sheils, Ashland WI, Mary and Brad Ziegler, Brooklet GA, Colleen and Pete Hankins, Snellville GA, Carolyn and Carlos Diaz, Savannah GA and Anne and Jimmy Sheehan, Savannah GA. 16 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. She was a devoted member of St James Church and faithfully served the Adoration Chapel.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Alzheimer’s Association (www.alz.org) to help find a cure for this disease affecting so many families.
A Mass of Christian Burial will take place at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, July 25, 2024 at the St. James Catholic Church. An inurment will follow the mass service at the Catholic Cemetery.
Sincere condolences. I worked for Mr. Sheils, VP at TFL.
