So very sorry for your loss. I work with Shelby and Harold at Shenandoah Elementary.  There was no task too big or too small for Shelby to take on. . She was a true Christian woman who always put God first in her life and it showed. Shelby had a servants heart and I am  so blessed to have known her. 

I'm praying for Shelby's loved ones.  Shelby was very sweet and talented.  I knew her from church.  She made a beautiful quilt for my little baby boy.  She will be missed!

Gladys and I knew Shelby for a number of years and she was one of the finest Christian ladies that we have known.  We have the assurance that she is in the presence of Jesus, the one she served over the years. As Christians we have hope of being together one day. We send our condolence to the family and we know she will be missed. 

Jack & I love Shelby so much! Jack always said she was a spiritual mom to him. We met Shelby at Redeeming Love Fellowship Church and she was an amazing woman of God and friend. She was so talented! If you ever go to Redeeming Love and see the beautiful mural above the baptismal , Shelby painted that. It's absolutely beautiful! She recorded CD's and DVD's for Christian musicians & also evangelists that preached there. She took care of the flowers at the church, she just had a green thumb and a way of making everything look beautiful. She spoiled Jack every birthday with her no bake peanut butter cookies and he always looked forward to that. She made beautiful cards and we always got one on our birthday, anniversary, & Christmas. Shelby was such a an encourager! She showed love to everyone and gave so much through her acts of random kindness. She was never ashamed of Jesus and if you ever called her home and got her answering machine she would tell you about Jesus and the danger of not receiving Him into your heart. Shelby loved photography & she shared photographs from all our activities at church. She took a picture one year of Jack with a nice deer he had just gotten, printed it & put it in a nice 8x10 frame and gave it to him. He was so pleased with that! Shelby made the most beautiful quilts and in the summer she made the best salsa from her garden goodies. She made sure Jack got some salsa and he looked forward to it. Shelby was a joy to be around and she made sure that you got a hug and knew you were loved. She let her light shine wherever she was at. We took her out to eat many times and she always wanted to eat at Mamma Mia's and get a steak & cheese sub. I could go on & on because we have so many beautiful memories. Shelby was a gift from God and she will be missed tremendously. She wanted everyone to go to heaven.  She loved & cherished her family and she was so proud of her children,  grandchildren, & great grandchildren. Our prayers are with  you all.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Shelby your Mom, Grandma was such a special person. i will never forget her. You're in my Prayers.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Shelby was a wonderful, creative and talented lady. She loves Jesus 

Shelby was nice friend I met her at Church and she was a lovely person.  At Seasoned Saints (our monthly meetings)  she always had something for us she made.  I still have them.  She was a great Christian and always shared the word to other people.
I will miss her she was always kind to everyone.  I know she is with Jesus now with her smiles and admiration.
I pray for her family and friends.
God Bless, Barbara Slayton

Shelby was a talented woman in so many aspects.  Working with her at Shenandoah Elementary was a blessing. Her handmade cards would appear on our desks for birthdays, anniversaries and times when we needed a special message. She was an amazing photographer and she would give us prints from celebrations. She was a prayer warrior and always prayed with us before the SOL tests. She brought flowers for the teachers lounge! Shelby could sew anything and she made classroom picture pillows and quilts to raffle off for the PTA. I could write a book about how special she was to me! Every time I put on a Washington Redskin hat or shirt I think of her.  “Go Rest High on That Mountain. “  Love you and will miss your posts on Facebook!
