Shelly graduated from Twin Valley South High School and attended Miami Jacobs where she obtained an associate degree. When her health allowed, she worked as a Legal Assistant for a law firm in Dayton, Ohio.
Shelly faithfully attended Farmersville First Baptist Church where she enjoyed studying God's Word, worshipping and participating in the Ladies Bible Study group.
She loved spending time with her grandkids, whom she considered her pride and joy. She enjoyed many things, especially music, word search puzzles, and being with her family and friends.
