She participated in many school, church and local activities as she grew up in Baytown, graduated in 1988 from Ross S. Sterling High School, and completed her Associate Degree of Applied Science from Lee College in 2013. Shelly worked as an Administrative Assistant at Goose Creek Memorial High School.
Shelly’s first love was God and family. Her smiling face and joyous spirit inspired all those who knew Shelly. Shelly loved to read, study the Bible, attend and lead Bible study sessions with family and friends. Shelly was devoted to encouraging and helping others through the scriptures of God’s word, which she published each day on her special Facebook page entitled “God Driven Women Supporting Each Other”. She also enjoyed the fellowship of large family vacations, family nights watching movies and playing games, and especially shopping to design unique crafts or cook her favorite seasonal treat for family members or friends. Truly, one of God’s angels here on earth, she will be remembered for her bright, outgoing personality, genuine, kind spirit, and giving heart. Her memory and beautiful smile will live on in the hearts of those who remain behind. Her legacy will always be remembered not only as a great and loyal friend, but also as a loving daughter, sister, mother, and wife.
She was preceded in death by father Ronald R. Schrull; brother Ronald R. Schrull, Jr.; grandparents Claude & Jeanne Barthe, Evelyn & Joseph Smith, and Dorothy Coursey; and uncle Claude C. Barthe, Jr.
