Cora Shelton Obituary

Born 5/6/1927 Died 11/29/2010 Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Great Great Grandmother, Mother of Sharon Moore, Jerry Dale Shelton, Odell Shelton Jr., Grandmother of nine, Great Grandmother of eleven, Great-Great Grandmother of three Wife of a Army veteran, mother of two sons who are Army veterans. Cora Lee was a survivor of Breast Cancer for more then ten years. Sometimes final peace takes a long time to find, but I do believe that Mom has finally found it. A very special thanks to Don Moore, mom's son-in-law for his special help in taking care of mom. Mom lost her soul mate in 1985 to lung cancer, which was hard on her, but she carried on even after she found out that she had breast cancer. Mom came from a family of 10 kids, which were all strong willed people. Rest in peace Mom, You and Dad can have a cup of coffee and cigarette now and catch up with all the things of your family. Friends and family are invited to attend a graveside service Friday, Dec. 3rd. 2010 at 11:00 am at Sunrise Cemetery, 3315 Newburg Rd. Fortuna, Ca. Arrangements under the care of Goble's Fortuna Mortuary, Fortuna, Ca. Please sign the guest book at www.Times-Standard.com, click obits.
