Sheila is one of Anna's parents-by-choice.  She is an amazing chef who makes everyone feel welcome (and well fed) in her role as caretaker of a 1,400 acre private preserve near Washington, DC.

When not serving delicious meals, Sheila works as an accountant and plays by visiting (and collecting pictures of) lighthouses.  She is also very active in her local Quaker community.
