We’re deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of Sheila Aline McKee, who left us peacefully at the age of 87 on September 26, 2026, in Santa Fe, Texas.

Sheila entered this world on November 1, 1938, in Beaumont, Texas, a beloved daughter to her parents, Preston Robert Meyers, Sr. and Vivian Babineaux Meyers.

Anyone who had the pleasure of knowing Sheila can attest to her wonderfully caring, kind, and genuinely beautiful spirit. She possessed an incredible gift for making everyone feel instantly comfortable and valued; it truly felt like Sheila never met a stranger. Her warm, unforgettable smile had a way of brightening any room and making each person she encountered feel incredibly special. She leaves behind a profound legacy of love and connection that will forever resonate with her extensive network of family and friends. Sheila dedicated many years of her professional life to administration, where her bright presence was surely felt.

Sheila is now reunited with several cherished family members who preceded her in death: her beloved parents, Preston Sr. and Vivian; her dear sister, Sandra Danna; her cherished son, Michael McKee; and her adored grandson, Cody Solomon.

Her memory will be lovingly treasured by her devoted daughters: Erin McKee (and her husband Wayne Bacot), Lori Flood, and Shea Kelly (and her husband Rick). She is also survived by her loving sons: Patrick McKee (and his wife Deanne) and Timothy McKee (and his wife Carol). Her brother, Preston Meyers, Jr. (and his wife Iva), also holds her memory dear.

Sheila was also the proud and doting grandmother to a truly vast and adored group of grandchildren and great-grandchildren, whose lives she enriched beyond measure.
