She was born on April 14, 1954, in Xenia, Ohio, to the late Robert and Marilyn (Riegle) George.

Shelley was a devoted wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and Woman of Faith. Her happy places included being with her family and walking sandy beaches. Shelley and her husband, Steve, spent their years together serving the Church and their community. Much of her career was spent in Human Resources and she recently retired from Greenville Federal Bank where she was known to greet you with her beautiful smile and the best style.
