Sheila was baptized at the age of 17 into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. At the age of 18 her parents sent her to America in hopes of finding an Eternal Companion. She met Grant Bates Child while working at the LDS hospital. They married March 1, 1951 in the Salt Lake Temple. They were blessed with seven children. She raised six of them to adulthood, teaching them to love the gospel and our Savior Jesus Christ.
