Mary was born on May 26, 1936 in Cadiz, Kentucky. Mary was a dedicated Army Wife, loving Sister and faithful friend, but her greatest accomplishment was being a devoted Mother. Though the Military life took her on many great adventures, Mary was lucky enough to call Pensacola home for the last 50 years.
She was preceded in death by her Husband, Perry W. Shell; her sisters, Frances Belkey; Elaine Miles; and her parents, Raymond and Myrtle Williams.
Those left to cherish her memory include her devoted children, Elaine Santoriello; Shearon Harrelson; Michael Shell; Perry “Ricky” Shell; her brother, George Williams (Marilyn); her grandchildren, Charles “Andy” Varvorines; David Harrelson; Angela Parker; Jason Jones; Jennifer Brown (Michael); Kevin Shell as well as her 4 great grandchildren, 1 great-great grandchild, and several nieces and nephews.
The family would like to express our thanks for the wonderful help and care given by Regency Hospice of Pensacola, FL.
The family will be receiving visitors from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. at the National Cremation & Burial Society, located at 5641 Highway 90 West, Milton, FL 32583 followed by a funeral service at 2 p.m.
