Shelley Lowe, 49, went home to be with the Lord and other loved ones on July 15, 2021, with her family members by her side.

 A well - loved woman, Shelley enjoyed meeting new people.  To Shelley, a stranger was simply a friend she hadn’t met.  She had a heart of gold.  Shelley was a very selfless person as she would help anyone that was in need.  She never thought of herself and was always caring for others.  Anyone that knew her, knew what true friendship and love was and felt like. She was a true hero to her family and friends and was always strong when you couldn’t be. No matter what, she loved you unconditionally, even after a fight. She always knew what to say whether you wanted to hear it or not. 

She held several different jobs throughout the years; however, her most favorite was taking care of her grandbabies.  Her hobbies included fishing, boating, spending time at the lake with family, laughing and having a good time with everybody (Queen of practical jokes).  She volunteered with several different organizations including Lowe’s Fizzy Fun (Ring Bomb), Bags of Hope, Horton United Methodist VBS and youth, Trunk or Treat for the children, Girl Scouts, volunteered at the schools that her children attended and several charity events and craft fairs.
