It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Sheila Evans Maloney, who left this world peacefully on November 24, 2025, in Lady Lake, Florida.
Her celebration of life will be December 6, 2025 2:00–4:00 p.m. at La Hacienda Recreation Center, 1200 Avenida Central, Lady Lake, Florida 32159.
She married the love of her life March 7, 1964, Donald R. Maloney, who survives her. Sheila was also preceded in death by her son Timothy Maloney; grandson Gage Armbruster; her in- laws John and Wilma Maloney; her brothers Ronnie and Bill Evans; and siblings-in-law Patrick Maloney and Jackie Coppack.
Sheila was the beloved only daughter of Clifford M. Evans and Marie C. Goldsworthy (Tiley), both of whom preceded her in death. Sheila is survived by her brother Robbie Evans; her children Jeffrey S. Maloney, Dawn M. (Scott) Fritts of Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Pamela J. Armbruster of Murfreesboro, Tennessee; and her grandchildren Melissa (Joe) Secrest, Kyle (Jazmin) Fritts, Cody (Kailey) Tymothy, and Gabby Armbruster. She also leaves behind her cherished great-grandchildren: Brantley and Cara Secrest, Justin and Jaxxon Fritts, and Asher Armbruster.
A proud graduate of Merrillville High School, Sheila built a successful career and touched many lives along the way. She owned The Touch of Class in Hobart and Valparaiso, Indiana, before embracing a new chapter of life in Puerto Rico. She later settled in Lady Lake, Florida, where she retired from Olive Garden in The Villages. No matter where life took her, Sheila was known for her quick wit, warm heart, and unwavering love for her family.
Sheila was thoughtful, strong, and deeply devoted to the people she loved. Her presence brought laughter, comfort, and connection to all who knew her. While our hearts are heavy with loss, we find strength in knowing she is reunited with her son, grandson, and the many family members and friends who welcomed her into eternal peace. Until we meet again, her memory will remain a blessing.
