Over the years, her dogs brought her great joy, companionship, and countless cherished memories.

Sheilah will be remembered for the love she had for her family, her devotion to her Golden Retrievers, and the joy she found in the simple things she liked to do. She leaves behind a legacy of love and many wonderful memories that will be cherished by her family and all who knew her.

In lieu of flowers, you may donate to the Imperial Polk Obedience Club of Lakeland in memory of Sheilah Platzer.
