ROCKLAND — Sheila Diane Robinson Whittier passed away on May 5, 2016, at home. She was born Sept. 30, 1961, in Rockland to Harvey "Hap" and Gloria (Keizer Hannan) Robinson.

Sheila attended local schools and graduated from Rockland High School. She worked various jobs while growing up, and at Maritime Energy for 12 years. She was currently employed at Mobius Inc. for the last year "assisting her fellas," which brought her great happiness.

Sheila married Stephen McKellar and had two children. She later married Daniel Whittier and had a third child.

Sheila had a passion for reading, and she always had a book in her hand. Her greatest passion, and when she was happiest, was the time spent with her immediate and extended families. She loved cooking for holidays and doing crafts with her "grandbabies," and recently her great-niece and great-nephew. She loved her pets like they were her children, especially her dog, Tucker.

Her ability to put a smile on anyone's face will be missed by all who knew her.

Sheila was preceded in death by her father, Hap; and her step-father, Robert Hannan. She is survived by her mother, Gloria Hannan of Waldoboro; her son, Christopher McKellar of Appleton; her daughters, Misti Edwards and her husband, Lee, of Augusta, and Tasia Elizabeth Whittier of Portland; her stepdaughters, Kelsey Parker and her husband, Joe, of Gardiner, and Katlyn Whittier of Brunswick; her grandchildren, Jae-Lynn Dodge, J'Lissa Dodge, Isaiah Dodge and Audrey Dodge, all of Augusta, and Ezrah Whittier of Portland; her brothers, Tim Robinson and his wife, Angie, of Friendship, Kevin Pratt and his partner, Angela Dodge, of Rockport, and Sonny Robinson of Portland; her sister, Billie Coughlin and her husband, Ryan, of San Marcos, Calif.; and several nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

A celebration of Sheila's life will be held Friday, May 13, at 2 p.m. at Hall Funeral Home in Waldoboro, with a reception to follow at Christopher's home at 2508 Appleton Ridge Road in Appleton.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made in Sheila's name to Mobius Inc., 319 Main St., Damariscotta, ME 04543.

Hall's of Waldoboro has care of the arrangements.
