Obituary-Sheila Kay Covell

Submitted
Sheila Covell, 71, passed away peacefully, surrounded by the love of her family, on Friday, June 19, 2026, at Rock River Hospice and Home in Sterling.

Sheila was preceded in death by her parents, Dennis and June Brennan, and her sister, Sandy. She is survived by her devoted husband of over 50 years, Guy Covell, whom she married in 1973. Together, they built a life centered on love and family and raised two children, Heather Dunkel (Steve) and Bill Covell (Kim).

Sheila enjoyed camping, crafting, and sharing her home and heart with many beloved family dogs throughout the years. More than anything, she cherished her role as a Nana. Her four grandchildren, Emalia, BreeAnn, Brindy, and Miley, brought immense joy and happiness to her life, and she treasured every moment spent with them.

Sheila will be remembered for the many memories she created with family and friends. Though she will be deeply missed, she will forever be remembered and loved.

Cremation rites have been accorded. Arrangements were completed by the McDonald Funeral Home & Crematory in Rock Falls.
