Long time VCMA Secretary passed away.........

[Jerry Hayes]

Sheila Keeling who was the Virginia Country Music Association's secretary for over 16 years has passed away from cancer. She'd been suffering with it for a good while now and it had spread to many parts of her body. She was a very nice lady and will be missed by all. Her husband John was a bass player/rhythm guitarist who played around this area for many years before passing away a couple of years ago. John had Alzheimer's Disease. Funeral services for Sheila are pending. I'll miss that great big smile of her's, she was a sweetheart....JH in Va.
