Shelby was a member of Friedberg Moravian Church in Winston-Salem. She also belonged to the Family Fraternity Moose Lodge 466/WOTM in Winston-Salem. She loved to volunteer including being a cheerleading coach for the Tiny Greyhounds. In 1993, she retired from R.J. Reynolds Tobacco after working there for 18 years. Shelby always enjoyed spending time with family. She loved her children and grandchildren with all her heart and soul whether she was rocking them as babies, teaching them to swim, playing cards, or fixing their favorite meal - roast, homemade creamed potatoes and pound cake. But most importantly, she taught them how to love one another. Jesus said in John 13:34, ""A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."" Luke 6:31 says, ""Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."" Shelby understood the importance of respecting one another and forgiving others, and she never missed an opportunity to say, ""I love you."" A funeral service will be conducted Wednesday, May 25 at 2 pm at Hayworth-Miller Silas Creek Chapel with Rev. Susan Morris officiating. Burial will follow at Parklawn Memorial Park. The family will receive friends from 11:45 am to 1:45 pm prior to the service May 25 at Hayworth-Miller Silas Creek Chapel. The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude to the Hospice and Palliative Care South Team of Winston-Salem and the staff of Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home.
