Aimee Shemwell Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 16, 2017.
On Monday, November 13, 2017 Aimee Nicole Shemwell died suddenly in a car accident just outside of Front Royal, Virginia.

Born on the 10 of September 1988 in Woodbridge Virginia, Aimee was big sister to her six younger siblings, four sisters (Michele, Ashlyn, Faith, and Samantha) and two brothers (Darren and Alec).

On December 22, 2007 Aimee married the love of her life, Michael Spencer Shemwell, in a ceremony surrounded by friends and family.

Together they had four children, Brayden Michael Shemwell in June 2008, Harper Lynn Shemwell in April 2012, Avery James Shemwell in April 2014, and Bexley William Shemwell in April 2016.

She is survived by countless family, including her husband, her children, her many siblings, parents Rachel and James Butyter and Darryl and Jenny Wohlfahrt, as well as countless others who mourn the tragic loss of not only her life, but the spirit and vivacity with which she lived it, and which, in turn, she spilled into theirs.

There will be a viewing at Maddox Funeral Home in Front Royal on Friday, November 17, 5-7 p.m.   

Funeral services will be held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, at  7145 Browntown Road  in Front Royal on Saturday, November 18 at 3 p.m.

Arrangements are being handled by Maddox Funeral Home. www.maddoxfuneralhome.com

Aimee is the quintessential perfect mommy. I know from my own personal experience from being on the receiving end that Aimee will continue to mother her children from beyond the veil. Ohhhh how I know this is in fact true.
When Aimee would babysit, Mason and I would come home to the house cleaner than we left it, the boys all googly eyed (because crushes, duh), and little notes on everything they ate, drank, read, homework completed....you name it. Mind you, she was only 12 or 13!!!! Mothering has always been in her blood. I'm sure her sister, Michele, would agree. (I'm a little sister, too....oh the joy. Haha)

Once she called me for a ride back to the high school for a gymnastics meet. It was raining and her mom wasn't home from work yet. Amy walked out of her home with (I kid you not) a gymnastics bag twice her size. I busted out laughing. (She's very tiny). She threw that thing over her shoulders like a boss. Always had me chuckling.

I recently heard the expression when someone passed away that "he graduated mortality." Well, Aimee not only graduated mortality, but she graduated with a PhD. She nailed this life. "Well done thy good and faithful servant." I LOVE YOU

We all as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, grieve the loss of our sweet Aimee. My most sincere prayer that you Brother Shemwell and your family will feel and be comforted by the Holy Spirit during this difficult time. From President Janes Faust: ... The Holy Ghost bears witness of the truth and impresses upon the soul the reality of God the Father and the Son Jesus Christ so deeply that no earthly power or authority can separate him from that knowledge. Hope you and yours will feel His constant companionship.. My love to you and your family. May God bless you all.

Aimee,
You were a beautiful vivacious loving spirit and daughter of Heavenly Father and loved life and those who shared it with you in all you did. While I imagine the spirits wept as you made your way to earth, those you leave behind here will weep as well...but also know they are so blessed that they had the privilege to know you. You are a wonderful mother and have been a great example and will remain one. Though your loved ones are broken and devastated now, I pray they will find strength though our Savior, the knowledge that families are forever and know they will join you again. I pray your parents and your husband be strong, able to get past the pain, and feel you through your wonderful babies you leave behind here. The love your showed and shared and how you helped and touched others will not be forgotten. Hugs, love, and prayers.

She will be deeply missed.
