She is survived by her husband of fifty-three years, John Sheridan and her three children: Cecelia (Angelos) Hannides of Conway, SC; Margaret Ann (Adrian) Sheridan of Chapel Hill, NC; and John (Cynthia) Sheridan of Colorado Springs, CO.

Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Ceci was the oldest of the eight children and fifty-six cousins in the Styslinger family. She lived a varied and fulfilling life as wife, mother, Navy wife, elected school board official, Pastoral Associate for St. Andrew’s Church and Catholic scholar.

After graduating from Duquesne University with a M.A in Philosophy, Ceci married and embarked on the life of a Navy wife: living and raising children in many places from California to Maine and from Iceland to Italy. She talked often with joy about these experiences and through her own enthusiasm instilled a sense of adventure in her tightknit family.

After moving with her family to Saline, Michigan in 1992, Ceci served the St. Andrew the Apostle Catholic Church community for thirty-two years and was employed there as the Pastoral Associate for almost twenty years. A talented listener as well as teacher, Ceci was well known and well loved by all the people of St. Andrew Parish.
