Shelia Billingsley

Sheila Billingsley, age 74, of Portage, passed away Monday, November 9, 2026. She was born on September 29, 1952, to the late William and Doris (nee Cheek) Billingsley.

Sheila was a retired administrative assistant for Benefit Decision in Chicago, Illinois. She was a woman who spoke her mind and was never afraid to tell it like it was. Beneath her direct nature was a sweet and kind heart, along with a wonderful sense of humor that those who knew her will fondly remember. In her free time, Sheila enjoyed playing bingo, visiting the casino, and getting lost in a good book. She especially loved watching classic black-and-white movies and had a special place in her heart for cats. Her love for animals and the simple pleasures in life brought her much happiness.

Sheila is survived by her sister, Angie (Tony) Mamouzelous; and numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her siblings, Bill Billingsley, Kay Key, Jeane Randall, and Robert Billingsley.
