Shelvie graduated from high school in 1955. She took several classes during her working career at Forsyth Tech and Surry Community College. She retired from Yadkin County ASCS Office, a branch of the USDA, in 1992 with 35 years of service. After retirement, she and Homer enjoyed traveling to all 50 states and babysitting their great grandson, Isaiah, beginning at 10 days old. Shelvie was a loving mother and grandmother. She was always there for her family. She was a wonderful cook and loved making cookies for her grandchildren and pies and cakes for Homer and her children. Shelvie was a faithful member of Union Grove Baptist Church, since 1991, and was involved in many of the church functions and activities. Shelvie will surely be missed by all her family.
