Shelly Sweeten Obituary
August 6, 1967 - February 22, 2025
Lubbock, Texas - It's the bottom of the ninth, and our MVP, Shelly Rene Sweeten, has rounded the bases and slid safely into home.
Born on August 6, 1967, to Herman Sweeten Jr. and Deanna Raya, with the loving support of her stepfather Ray Raya, Shelly played every inning of her life with heart, hustle, and an unwavering commitment to her team-her family, friends, and the many children she nurtured along the way.
A memorial service will be held at the VanFoeken Party Barn 9441 Tegner Road, Hilmar, California, on June 6, 2025, at 10 a.m. Be sure to wear your favorite red or blue attire.
