Obituary

Shelia Kay Doolen, age 58, passed away on May 30, 2022 in Wichita, Kansas.

She was born in Wichita, Kansas to parents Louie Fern Mowery and Robert Wayne Westerfield. After the death of her father, she was adopted by Lawrence Bradley Yoakum. Shelia was a graduate of Valley Center High School in 1981. After graduating high school she attended Wichita Area Technical College (WATC) where she received a certification as a medical assistant (CMA).

Shelia enjoyed reading, fishing, playing old school arcade games, and cooking her mother's recipes for the family. Her greatest joy by far was spending time with her grandchildren.
