Sheila Marie

Dormoh

Sheila Marie Dormoh, lovingly known as "Nana" by those who knew and loved her best, peacefully received her wings on May 17, 2026, at the age of 60. Born Sheila Marie Allen on May 24, 1965, in Toledo, Ohio, she was the cherished daughter of Marie Allen and Edward Allen.

In 1986, Sheila married and began a life devoted to love, family, and unwavering strength. To know Sheila was to know warmth, laughter, protection, and unconditional love. She was the heart of her family — the one everyone leaned on, called first, and found comfort in. Her greatest pride and deepest joy in life were her children and grandchildren, whom she loved with every piece of her soul.

She leaves behind her loving daughters, Sheena Price, Danielle Allen, and Toni Dormoh, who were not only her children, but her greatest accomplishments and the center of her world. She also leaves behind the lights of her life — her precious grandchildren: Destinee Boykin, Jyrah Lane, Zamorra Dykes, her only grandson Tyree Price, Zoee Jones, and great-granddaughter Dakota Jones. Sheila also leaves behind her significant other and best friend, Tracy Finn, whose companionship and love brought her comfort and happiness.

Sheila is survived by her devoted mother, Marie Allen; her siblings Edward Allen, Vanessa Washington, Kevin Allen, Robert Allen, Robin Allen, and Jermaine Allen; along with a large circle of extended family and dear friends who loved her deeply and will forever carry her memory in their hearts.

For over 30 years, Sheila faithfully served the children and families of Toledo Public Schools as a dedicated bus driver. She was more than an employee — she was a familiar smile, a caring spirit, and a dependable presence to countless families throughout the community. She retired on January 1, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of hard work, sacrifice, and compassion.

Sheila loved life with her whole heart. She found joy in traveling, fishing, crocheting, decorating, and taking road trips with her daughters and grandchildren. She had a creative spirit and a nurturing soul. She took pride in making everything around her beautiful — especially her yard, which she cared for with patience and love. No matter where she went, Sheila carried a light within her that made people feel safe, welcomed, and loved. Her smile could brighten the darkest room, and her laughter was the kind that stayed with you long after the moment passed.

But above all else, Sheila was strong. She was the foundation of her family — the woman who carried burdens without complaint, who gave even when she had little left for herself, and who loved fiercely through every hardship life placed before her. She was brave, selfless, protective, and full of grace. Her family knew her as their safe place, their comfort, their strength, and their home.

The pain of losing her is one words cannot truly describe. There are no goodbyes that could ever prepare a family for the loss of a mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and friend so deeply loved. Life without Sheila will never be the same, and the emptiness left behind is immeasurable. Yet even in heartbreak, her family finds peace in knowing her love will never leave them. Her voice, her wisdom, her hugs, her laughter, and the lessons she poured into those she loved will live on forever.

Though her family wishes they could have held onto her longer, they trust that Heaven gained a beautiful angel. Sheila's spirit will continue to guide, protect, and watch over the family she loved so deeply.

"Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure.You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure."

You were loved more deeply than words could ever express, and your absence leaves a pain that time can never heal. Our hearts will forever carry your love, your strength, and your memory.

We love you endlessly, Mama Forever and always 💋💋💋💋
