Sheila Marie Finn

Sheila Marie Finn, 60, passed away peacefully, at home, surrounded by family and friends on January 25th, 2023.

Sheila was born on October 7th, 1962, in Taylor, Texas to Gene and Victoria (Zett) Finn. She attended elementary school in Taylor, Texas and high school in Granger, Texas where she graduated in 1981. After high school Sheila worked at Bluebonnet Nursing Center in Granger, Texas as a nurse’s aide. In the summer of 1984, she traveled to California where she did home installations of satellite dishes. Upon returning home in the fall of 1984, she found her place at Ultra Electronics (Weed Instrument) where she would work for 35 years. There she worked as a Technician II in the Aerospace Nuclear Department. Her last project she worked on was probes for Blue Origin.

Sheila found her partner in life when she met Peg Hines. For the last 18 years they would live a full life together and spoil their beloved dogs Pepper and Cooper.

Sheila enjoyed being outdoors. Whether that be at their home away from home on Carancahua Bay, out on Granger Lake, in a deer stand, or visiting the farm. She loved to cook for family and friends! Her specialties were salsa, BBQ, and sweets.

Friends, to Sheila, were like family. Sheila will be dearly missed by so many.
