Sheila Kinlaw

Humphrey

Sheila Kinlaw Humphrey passed away on November 13, 2026. A beloved wife, mother, daughter, and friend, her kindness and love touched the lives of many. She will be remembered for her devotion to her family and faith, her deep roots in her community, and the lasting friendships she nurtured throughout her life.

A Lumberton native, Sheila was well known and loved throughout her hometown. She spent the majority of her career working in banking, where she became a familiar and friendly face to many. Her caring nature and the connections she made along the way were a reflection of the person she was—someone who made others feel welcome and valued.

Above all, Sheila treasured her family. She was a devoted wife and loving mother whose greatest happiness came from spending time with the people she loved. Whether cheering on her beloved ECU Pirates or enjoying time at Holden Beach, Sheila knew how to find joy in life's simple pleasures. The beach held a special place in her heart, offering time to relax, make memories, and enjoy the moments that mattered most.

She is survived by her loving husband, Jay Humphrey; her father, Bruce Kinlaw; her son, Kyle Lovin (Kendall); and her stepson, Ryan Humphrey. She also leaves behind extended family members and countless friends whose lives were made better by knowing her. She was preceded in death by her mother, Carolyn Kinlaw, and her brother, Stevie Kinlaw.

Though Sheila will be deeply missed, the love she shared, the friendships she nurtured, and the memories she created will remain forever. Her family and friends will carry her spirit with them—in the cheers for the ECU Pirates, in the peaceful days spent at Holden Beach, and in the countless reminders of a life that meant so much to so many.
