Print Obituary & Condolences
Some of my fondest childhood memories were spent with Shell and Debbie at their house. Lost touch over the years but they were always in my heart. Prayers for comfort and peace knowing she is with those she loves and is free from pain.
I’m saddened to hear the passing of my cousin Michelle. I hadn’t seen her in several years.
I have fond memories of going to Uncle Almy’s and Aunt Gladys’ There was always plenty of moist pies and
dry wit and loud laughter! There were two unique pairs of people as well, “Harold Wayne and Jimmy” and “Debbie and Shell.” I am saddened by the passing of Shell, such a special person. Prayers and love to Debbie and the family.

I remember for my 7th birthday Aunt Shell taught me how to make a pink rose out of icing for my birthday cake and I watched her make the cake and everything and i just miss her so much but she’s in a better place not suffering anymore. Love you
