Edward Hill Shelton

Ed is survived by his wife, Holly Shelton; his sons Bart (Susan) Shelton; Matt (Susan) Shelton; and Robb (Jessica) Shelton; his grandchildren Ava Shelton, Henry Shelton and Lillah Shelton as well as his sister Clois Ann Skipworth.

Edward was preceded in death by his first wife, Joy H. Shelton; and his parents, James Edward and Martha Pearl Shelton.

Earning a degree in Accounting from Auburn University, Mr. Shelton shifted from his role as a CPA to the owner/operator of Shelton Machine and Tool. He became the epitome of a country mechanic with a gift for fixing most anything and a heart for helping his community. He had a knack for resuscitating machinery long past its prime. He dabbled in woodworking and metal work building clocks from scratch. While Ed was good with his hands, he was even better with people. He never met a stranger endearing himself to all his friends, new and old.

A visitation for Edward will be held Tuesday, November 26, 2019 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Leak Memory Chapel, 945 Lincoln Road, Montgomery, AL 36109. A Celebration of Life will occur Wednesday, November 27, 2019 at 11:00 AM in Leak Memory Chapel followed by an interment at Forest Hill Cemetery in Snowdoun, AL.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in Edward's memory may be made to Montgomery Area Food Bank, www.montgomeryareafoodbank.org; Homewood Church of Christ or his home church, Luverne Church of Christ.
