Shelia Kay (Grider) McGaha, Adair Co., KY (1945-2014)

She was a graduate of Adair County High School. Her favorite times were spent back in her childhood home in Kentucky at the Shepherd Reunion visiting with her extended family.  She also loved going to lunch with her friends and coworkers.  Although unable to attend at times due to caring for her loved ones, she loved going to church.  She was very appreciative of all the prayers and phone calls from her church family.  She always loved to watch the recorded church services when she was unable to be there in person.  Above all, she loved spending time with her daughters, son-in- law, and, mostly, her grandchildren.
