Sheila Evelyn Cross, 52, of Beaver County, passed away on November 5th, 2025 at Heritage Valley Beaver. She was born in Sewickley, a daughter of the late Debra E. (Lucci) States and David A. States. Her early years were further blessed by the wisdom and affection of her grandparents, Frank A. Lucci, Sr. and Ruby V. Liller Cole, her great-grandmother, Virginia Liller, as well as her beloved son, Issac Cross, all of whom preceded her in passing along with her parents. The love Sheila shared with her family was deep and unyielding. She is survived by her beloved sister, Amanda Cross, and her cherished niece, Hannah Cross.

Though Sheila faced the challenges of disability, she never allowed it to define her. Instead, she will be remembered as a beacon of positivity, always ready with a playful jest or a comforting embrace. Her ability to tease and make those around her smile was unmatched, and her status as a people person was undeniable. Her legacy is one of love, laughter, and the power of human connection.

A Memorial service to celebrate and remember Sheila’s life will be held on Saturday, December 6th at 1 p.m. at the Living Water Family Church, 108 Spruce Drive, Monaca. Arrangements have been entrusted to Simpson Funeral and Cremation Services, 1119 Washington Avenue, Monaca.
