Sheila Kathleen Long (Aline, Oklahoma) the daughter of the late Clayton Foster and Ruth E. (Carr) Sparks, was born March 17, 1938, in Canadian, Texas, and passed quietly from this life on October 9, 2019, in Fairview, Oklahoma, at the age of 81 years, 6 months and 22 days.

Sheila was a delightful and ornery girl. In her young days she loved gardening, canning, boating and friends. She delighted in teaching her children and grandchildren how to fish, and play cards and board games. She enjoyed crocheting, cooking, game shows ("Price is Right") and scratch art.

They enjoyed 45 years of marriage residing in Amarillo, Texas; Waynoka, Oklahoma; and on their farm west of Aline, Oklahoma. She was a loving and devoted wife and she loved with every fiber of her being.
Sheila was preceded in death by her parents and one brother, Ronald Sparks.
