Shelby Nicholson Obituary

She is survived by her five9year old daughter, two loving parents, five close siblings, a caring grandmother, former husband and family that she touched in a deep and positive way. Shelby was born on September 3, 1992. She truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures; marching in Washington DC as an activist, performing in theater arts and participating in many volunteer activities. Shelby gave all around her the feeling of love and joy, as she herself would find a way to laugh despite all odds. Shelby attended Elgin Community College where she earned her associates degree and had further plans to attend Florida State University. She enjoyed reading traveling and spending time with friends. Her family and friends will always be thankful for the gift of her life.

You were a wonderful person, Shelby, and your soul continues to be wonderful; your wings will spread further than your mortal body ever could.

I am completely shocked this has happened. Shelby lived a beautiful life with friends and family in the beautiful sunny Florida. It is a sad thought to find out she has left us. She will surely be missed. From one Westminster graduate to another, you will forever be loved and missed.
