Visitation will be held from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm on Sunday, December 18, 2022 at
Colonial Chapel Funeral Home in Laurel. A memorial service will immediately follow

Sheila was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 44 years, Samuel Chung, her
parents Dorothy Spedding Johnson and Charles Johnson, and her cherished dog
Saints.

She is survived by her daughter, Stacey Chung Voss, and grandchildren Hadley
Catherine, Ellis Eric, and Samuel Duncan Voss of Hattiesburg; son, Shad Chung,
daughter- in- law Mandy, and granddaughter Alexis Grace Chung of Southaven;
daughter, Sara Chung Dyess, son-in-law Brandon, and grandson Tyler Mackenzie

with a host of other family members including a brother-in-law Walter Hum of New York
and many nieces ,nephews, and cousins. She also leaves behind her life-long "BFF",
Jan Jacobo, of Laurel.

Sheila was selfless, compassionate, and generous of spirit.  She had a servants-heart
and demonstrated the love of Jesus throughout her life.  She led her family with
tremendous grace and a quiet strength.

It was this strength that helped her bravely endure the long illness that she experienced in the several months prior to her passing.
During this time, she amazed all who knew her, and her children and grandchildren
were so proud of their "Nana" for all that she so courageously overcame.

Sheila was a faithful supporter of her granddaughter Alex's fight against Type 1
Diabetes.   She also devoted countless hours to serving at The Glory House in Laurel.
