She worked in the local area as a Home Health Aide until her health began to fail.
She was a faithful and dedicated member of the House of God, Keith Dominion Skinnerton Band where she worked diligently doing “whatever she could find her hand to do”; Shelly enjoyed her yearly gardening and sharing her harvest with community, family, and friends.
