Mrs. Sheila Mae Tyson Felix was born on September 9, 1954, to Sam Tyson and Phoebe Owens in New York. At an early age her family moved to Savannah, GA, and later her family moved to a small town called Rayle, GA and made it their home. Sheila accepted Christ as her Savior at an early age and joined Pleasant Grove Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. Sims McIver. She attended Wilkes County Comprehensive High School, where she received her high school diploma. She decided to move back north to New Jersey to attend Cosmetology School.

At the age of 24, Sheila gave birth to her first son, Corey Dewayne Oliver, who shares the same birthday as his mom. In the mid-80s, Ms. Sheila Tyson met the love of her life, Mr. Anthony Felix in Plainfield, New Jersey. Their union was blessed with two more sons, Quincey Anthony Felix, and 5 years later, Keith Andre Felix. The Felix family moved to Plainfield, New Jersey, where they lived for 10 years. After Anthony retired from Amtrak, they decided to move to Rayle, GA. Sheila heart desired a daughter, and later her wish was granted, and she adopted Desiree Williams.

Sheila was employed by the United States Postal Service, and Home Health Aid. In her leisure time she enjoyed singing and listening to her old school music. Sheila was a loving wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, and great grandmother. She was known for her sense of humor, always joking and being the life of the party. It was not a dull moment around Sheila, one thing for sure if you knew then you knew she never held back and she was unpredictable you never knew what she was going to say next! Sheila was loved and will forever be missed.
