Sheila was born April 7, 1948 in Ontario, OR to Elbert Neil & Lois Elaine (Metcalf) Hoffman. Following her high school graduation, Sheila attended Treasure Valley Community College and later earned her dental assistant certification in Portland, OR. She loved her career in the dental industry, where she made many lifelong friends. In 2008, Sheila married Gene Patterson and moved to Pullman, where they made their home. Sheila was a loving wife and mother who cherished her husband Gene, son Josh, daughter-in-law Kelsey, and she especially adored her twin grandchildren.
