Shelia Lynn McKee Overland, 50, of Pine Grove, Louisiana, passed away around midday Thursday, October 23. She was born on September 10, 1975 at Earl K. Long Hospital in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Larry Dale McKee and Anita Lynn Collins.

Shelia was known for her strong will, fierce independence, and vibrant spirit. She lived life on her terms and never shied away from speaking her mind. Those who knew her will remember her stubborn streak just as much as her laughter, her energy, and her unwavering loyalty to the people she loved.

She leaves behind her best friend and biggest supporter Ben Overland. Shelia was a proud mother to her greatest accomplishments and joys of her life Lacy Linnay Arnold, Dalen Grace Clark, and Mayson Dwayne Clark. Her beloved grandchild, Denver Rain Arnold, who brought her endless pride and happiness.  Shelia's love extended far beyond her immediate family. Her nieces and nephews Cheyenne, Lane, Tylor, Haley, Larry, and Summer, whom she cherished deeply and loved as if they were her own children.

She is survived by her husband, children, grandchild, mother Anita Lynn McKee, and sisters Joyce Morris and Shelly Clayton. She was preceded in death by her father, Larry Dale McKee, and grandparents Kurt and Edith McKee and Harry and Joyce Collins.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Bobby Bickford and Jonelle Bickford for their care, compassion, and support during Shelia's final days. Their kindness will always be remembered.

Shelia's spirit was larger than life, and her memory will live on in the stories, laughter, and strength she leaves behind.
