Sheila Carson, 58, of Altoona, passed away Tuesday at UPMC Passavant after a courageous battle with cancer. She fought her battle with a sense of optimism and righteousness without pity. Sheila was born in Butler, the daughter of Ronald and June Sisco Klein.
She was a graduate of Allegheny Clarion Valley High School.
Sheila began a career as a social servant helping others, ranging from running a domestic shelter and helping in group homes. She was most recently employed as a home health aide for Community Resource for Independence.
She loved playing poker and having fun gambling. In the spring and summer, she loved going to yard sales. Sheila enjoyed spending time with her dogs and drinking Dunkin’ Donuts coffee. She was a wonderful and loving person who impacted almost everyone she came across. Sheila truly loved her friends and family.
In addition to her parents, Sheila is survived by the center of her world, her daughter, Joanne Pringle, and her fiance, Nathan, of Altoona; her three sisters: Darla (Stan) Smith of Clarion, Sonia Carson of Saxonburg and Teresa (Larry) Frain of Ford City; maternal grandmother, Myrna Sisco of Hilliards; and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her brother, Wayne Carson; and maternal grandfather, Wayne Sisco.
The family would like to thank all the wonderful caregivers, nurses and doctors at UPMC Altoona and Passavant who treated Sheila and her family with kindness.
