Shelby or "Momo" as her grandchildren called her, was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She enjoyed sharing her testimony from God, summertime, attending birthday parties for her loved ones, listening to Elvis, talking on the phone, and capturing every moment she could on film. Despite a long and tough struggle with cancer, Shelby will be remembered by her contagious laughter and all of the memories made with her family.

The interment will follow in the church cemetery. The family will be receiving friends at the funeral home on Monday, February 3, 2025 from 12:00 Noon until 8:00 p.m.
