Sheila and Jackie met through the technology of online dating. Jackie was the one to initiate conversation, which for anyone who knows Jackie, is completely out of character for her. After emailing, texting and eventually talking on the phone for a couple of months, a long distance friendship evolved. Sheila asked Jackie to come down to Madison for a visit back in May of 2017. They discovered they both loved the outdoors, appreciated scenic views, and were truly kids at heart. Soon after that, a long distance relationship blossomed. For over a year they video chatted every night and one of them made the long trip to the other’s home town every weekend, yes EVERY weekend. In August 2018 Sheila made the big move to Eau Claire and they started a home together with their fur family, Marley the Goldendoodle and the two crazy cats Stan and Alice. On October 17th, 2019 Sheila proposed using a photo book she had created for the special occasion. Now the next chapter begins!
