Shiela Lynn Unrein

June 23, 1952- April 26, 2025

Shiela Lynn Unrein, beloved Wife, Mother, Grandmother and Friend to so many. Nicknamed “Shiela Shine” she was a force to be reckoned with. She was a one-of-a-kind human who gave the greatest love, compassion and generosity to all, regardless of their relationship to her. She will be most remembered for her kindness, infectious laugh and smile.

Shiela lived through her faith in God. Her family was her pride and joy. She never knew a stranger and welcomed everyone with open arms. Her legendary status in the Montrose community will forever be remembered.

She was born as a twin in Fort Worth, Texas in 1952 to Stella Jennings. Shiela was the sixth of eight children. Survived by her twin sister, Sharon Hutchings (Kevin), and older sister Oveida Burton.

Shiela was blessed enough to meet the love of her life, David Unrein, at the young age of 15, two and a half years later they married. This year they would have celebrated 55 strong years together.

A mother with the purest love for her four children, Trena Unrein, Christie Unrein, Brian Unrein and Lacey (Whit) Hard. With the pride and joy of being the most caring grandmother to her six grandchildren, Ashley (Ben) Aliva, Katie (Dylan) Calkins, Taylor Foster, Bo Foster, Sterling Hard and Van Hard. Additionally, five great grandbabies Ella Avila, Asher Calkins, Chance Avila, Raelynn Avila, and Noah Calkins.

Shiela was preceded in death by Fanny Jennings, Stella Perham, Harry Perham, Candy Moore, Rena Ivie, Jimmy (Dubby) Jennings, Belinda Garcia, and Jerry Jacque who will never forget the love she brought to their lives.

Service will be held at Calvary Chapel Friday, May 2, 2025, at 1:00 pm followed by a graveside service at Grand View Cemetery. In lieu of flowers and donations, the Unrein family asks that you take extra time to love, cherish and spend time with your loved ones and most importantly find strength in your faith. 

So, when tomorrow starts without me,

 Don’t think we’re far apart, for every time you think of me

I’m right here in your heart
