Sheila Victoria Coover, 64, of Huber Heights, Ohio passed away surrounded by loving family after a brief illness on Monday, April 22, 2019. Sheila was born in Richmond, Indiana on November 20, 1954 to the late Ada Keller Parks and Roy Parks. She grew up in Dayton on Hayden Avenue and graduated from Stebbins High School in 1973. She worked as a manager in Human Resources at various healthcare offices, including 28 years at Dayton Gastroenterology and the last several years at Pediatrics Associates of Dayton and St. Leonard Franciscan Living Community. She was looking forward to retirement in a few years in order to spend more time with her two grandbabies who reside in Florida. She loved her grandchildren more than anything and most enjoyed spending time with her family. She approached life with positivity and compassion and had a great sense of humor, infectious laugh, and beautiful smile.
