Sheila called the other members of Three Degrees on a phone call to inform she was leaving the group and both Sheila and Valerie claimed on their own ends that the phone call conversation ended very abruptly and Valerie commented she was very upset feeling this conversation should have been in person and not on a phone call and commented that it was very difficult finding someone to replace Sheila in the group, which eventually they did find a new member for the group, but Valerie Holiday permanently took over Sheila's former spot as the lead singer of the group and has been in this current role since Sheila's departure. Since then, Sheila has had very limited contact with The Three Degrees and Sheila has never made any public appearances with The Three Degrees.
