February 29, 1972
January 30, 2012
Shelly Marie Jones Siegfried, beloved daughter, mother, wife, sister and friend, went to be with our Lord on Monday, January 30, 2012. She was born to Mr. and Mrs. Nathan E. and Kay (Youngblood) Jones on February 29, 1972, in El Paso. Shelly was a Certified Family Law Mediator and Certified General Mediator. For eight years, Shelly practiced law in Bexar, Karnes, Atascosa, DeWitt, Gonzales, Wilson, Comal, Guadalupe and other surrounding counties. For the past six years she had specialized in family law matters and was certified in general mediation as well as divorce and family law mediation. Shelly was involved in the community, speaking at seminars and panel events. She was a member of the San Antonio Bar Association Family Law Section, and a prior member of the Bexar County Court Resource Committee, Bexar County Children's Court, Safe Havens Advisory Board and a mentor for the Bexar County Community Justice Program. She was the most beautiful, kind hearted, loving soul who gave selflessly of herself to everyone who came into her life. She never stopped advocating for the helpless and hopeless. She was truly a servant of God. Our "Borrowed Angel" touched so many lives and will never be forgotten. Shelly is survived by her husband, Sean Eric Siegfried; son, Shane Eric Siegfried; parents, Nathan and Kay Jones, all of Smiley; sisters, Jennifer Norris of Seguin and Catherine Mitchell and husband, John, of Smiley; aunt, Vey Janosek; uncles, Jay Youngblood, Charles Jones and Roy Jones; niece, Jessie Kay Norris Barillet and husband, Matt; nephews, Jacob Norris, Joshua Norris, Jonathan Mitchell (currently serving in Afghanistan) and wife, Janet, and Brandon Mitchell; great nephews and nieces, Coby Norris, Tyler Barillet, Coralie Barillet and Madisyn Mitchell; numerous family and friends.

I went to law school with Shelly, worked with her at the St. Mary's clinic, but more importantly had the privilege of practicing with her in San Antonio. Shelly was always kind, always willing to go out of her way to help anyone who needed it. She will be missed by everyone whose life she touched. God's speed to you, sweet Shelly. Thanks for all you did.

Those of us who have worked with Shelly in the DeWitt County courthouse are truly schocked and saddened to hear of her passing. Please rest assured, that we always enjoyed seeing her appear in court with her charming smile and professional demeanor. I will certainly miss her appearances in our courthouse and will pray that the Lord bless each and every family member, friend, and acquaintance with the grace necessary to deal with this indisputable tragic loss. May God bless you all.
