Sheila Kay Lisotta, 48, met her Savior face to face on Monday, Aug. 4, 2025 at DeRidder Retirement & Rehab, where she had been a resident. She was born to her parents, Audrey ‘Kay’ Lonidier and Robert Dale Statum on July 25, 1977, in Sulphur.
Sheila found fulfillment in being a mother to her most precious daughter and praising her savior. Her testimony is how she loved. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
At the age of 24 years old, the careless actions of a drunk driver took away her ability to live independently. With the constant care and attention from the staff of The Care Center of DeQuincy and the DeRidder Retirement & Rehab, Shelia found a new joy and was happily crowned “The BINGO Queen”; we extend our gratitude to both facilities for their dedication to her care.
Those left to cherish her memory include, her daughter, Ambreah Lisotta of Crowley; her brothers, Billy Wayne (Veronica) Statum of Starks, and Elie (Sonda) Statum of St. Charles, Va.; and her sister, Jenny (Herman) Greer also of St. Charles, Va. Also surviving are her aunts and uncles, both far and near, include: Thomas (Renee) and Ben (Linda) Statum, Charles (Vicky), Robert (JoLane), and Pammy Lonidier, Bob Green (Sharon), Sharon Green, Gene (Mary) Martin; her much loved grandfather, Douglas ‘Grandpa Lonnie’ Lonidier. She was also known proudly by “She-She” to many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her grandmother, Gloria Lonidier; aunts, Janie Keeler, Tammy Lonidier, Marie Rainwater and Charlotte Schmidt; her biggest cheerleader, Mary ‘Grandma Butch’ Lonidier; and her beloved ‘MamMaw’ Margaret Statum.
A Celebration of Sheila’s life will be held at Hixson-Snider Funeral Home on Saturday, Aug. 16, at 11 a.m., with Pastor Steve Taylor officiating. Visitation will begin prior to the service at 10 a.m.
Services entrusted to Jordan and Amanda Mothershed of Hixson-Snider Funeral Home, 205 E. Harrison St., DeQuincy.
