Sheina Kremer graduated from Ludza Secondary School in 1941 after completing eight grades. From 1941 to 1945 she worked at the Kaganovich Kolkhoz in the Sairam District of the South Kazakhstan Region, Kazakh SSR.

In 1945 Kremer returned to Ludza, where she worked as a clerk and accountant-economist at the Ludza District Industrial Cooperative until 1952. From 1952 to 1958 she was an accountant at the Stalinskaya pyatiletka (Stalin’s Five-Year Plan) artel in Riga. Between 1958 and 1964 she worked as an accountant and quality inspector at the Rīgas Foto factory. From 1969 to 1971 she was an accountant at the Latvian SSR Art Fund.

After retirement, in 1982, Kremer returned to work at the Art Fund, where she remained until 1986. Beginning in 1987, she was employed as a dietary nurse at the Pumpuri Rest Home in Jūrmala.
