Sheila Lynn Hirn, 68, of Mesa, Arizona, passed away peacefully on April 20, 2026, surrounded by loved ones. Born on June 2, 1957, in Flint, Michigan, Sheila was a woman defined by her generous spirit, her quick wit, and an unwavering devotion to the family she adored-and her beloved dogs.
Sheila’s legacy lives on through her devoted husband, Kenneth Hirn, her daughters, Tonya Holmes, Stefanie Morse, and Mary Shouse; and her sons, Kenny (Fausta) Hirn, Chris (Catherine) Hirn, Jeff Hirn, and Hal Shouse.
She was the proud grandmother of Corie, Bailey, Austin, Cameron, Katie, Kenny, Chloe, Felicia, Donivan, Tarron, Nalani, Sydney, Taylor, Sammy, and Destiny; and a cherished great-grandmother of 11. She is also survived by her sisters, Robin Kresky and Kerry Joyner, and her brothers, Mike Bryant and Jerry Bryant.
Sheila now joins those who went before her: her mother, Lynetta (Carter) Barr, her father, Leon Bryant; her brother, Eddie Bowers; and grandson, Raymond James Hirn.
Services for Sheila will be held on Friday, May 1, at Mountain View Funeral and Cemetery, located at 7900E. Main St. Mesa, AZ 85208. Viewing will be at 10:00, followed by the service at 11:00 and burial at 12:00.
I’m so sorry for such a great loss. Sheila was my step sister. I’m Kerry & Jerry’s half sister. Sheila and I enjoyed a few summers together in Junction, IL. We always had fun together. I’ll never forget when she was home for her Dad’s funeral, she told me she was jealous of me because I lived at home with her Dad & my Mom. I was 10 when her Dad and my Mom got married. We just lost our Mom December of 2025. God Bless you all.
I don’t have any words to take away your heart ache I wish I did. Just know I love you all an I’m just a phone call away.
