Sheelagh was born in Coventry England on May 25, 1926 and was the daughter of Percival John Baxter-Ludlow and Jack and Amy Armitage.

Sheelagh herself was a gifted oil painter with many paintings hanging in the hospital, local businesses and homes. She was a member of Beta Sigma Phi. She was on a travel bowling league until the age of 85, where she often was the league high points winner. Sheelagh enjoyed reading a good book in the spare moments she had. She had a quick wit and routinely won at scrabble at all family events.
Sheelagh was proceeded in death by her husband Daniel and three sons, Daniel Wade, Derek Marshall and Dane Michael. She is survived by her daughter Shea Barron Bailey; son Wade Barron (Nikki); and daughter-n-law Dene Barron. Eight Grandchildren Derek Barron, Jessica Barron, Amy Bryce (Dennis Williams), Crystal Witt (Ryan), Amanda Davis (David), LaLeah Britt, Joshua Sims (Whitney Murdock) and Kody Fisette; eight Great-Grandchildren; and niece Lloydnetta (Buddy Bell) Hosea.
