Shelby Jean was a fiercely, strong and independent woman who loved to travel and spend time in the great outdoors. From the sandy beaches to the vast mountains, there was very little that could slow her down. She loved rainy days as she said they provided the best sleep.
She was a breast cancer survivor and in lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to the WIG Bank of Caldwell County at www.wigbank.org/contribute.
The family will hold a private service at a later date.
Sossoman Funeral Home and Crematory Center is assisting the family with the arrangements.
