She was a thirteen-year military veteran, EMT, beloved mother, daughter, and sister who was strongly devoted to her family. She developed a strong work ethic from a very young age, carrying this with her throughout the rest of her life. After transitioning back to civilian life, she spent most of her working years as a Nursing Assistant at several assisted living facilities, lastly employed by Parc at Traditions. She was sure to leave a profound impact on the residents and coworkers alike. Shelly’s over-the-top personality and vivacious sense of humor made her incredibly hard to forget after meeting her. She was fiercely loyal to anyone that she considered to be family or friend.
She is survived by many loving relatives including Edgar Hill Sr. (father), Dejon Hill (son), Janeishia Hill (daughter), Markaila Sanders (daughter), Mark Sanders III (son), Ryan Hill (daughter-in-law), Zamyra Hill (granddaughter), Chanda Hill (sister), Joy Coler (sister), Edgar Hill Jr. (brother), Alisca Hill (sister), Eddie Lee Hill (brother), Louis Hill (brother), Dyon Hill (nephew), Kytrel Hill (nephew), Adante Simmons (nephew), Sean Simmons (nephew), along with a host of other beloved relatives and friends from all around the world.
