Sheila leaves behind a legacy of love, nestled in the hearts of her family. She is survived by her devoted husband, Dallas Wilbanks, and their wonderful children, Austin and Ashton. Additionally, she is survived by her dear parents, Benny and Evelyn Baker, her brother Benny Baker Jr., her sister Amber Dyer, several cousins, nieces, and many great friends who will always cherish the time spent with her.
