Shirley Beverly Hellmann

Shirley Beverly Hellmann, age 90, passed away peacefully on February 2, 2021 in New Braunfels, TX. She was a loving daughter, wife, mother, sister and friend to all. She loved her family unconditionally and left an imprint on each of them as she loved and cared for all, as Jesus did. She will be missed more than she will ever know but her family and all those she touched will carry her in their heart.

Shirley was born in Marshalltown, Iowa to Theodore and Alberta Benson, on September 14, 1930. She married George Hellmann and had 3 children, Gary, Diana, and Debora and lived in San Antonio, TX most of her life. She worked at numerous jobs and professions over the years, some of which include being a hair-stylist and a dance instructor at Arthur Murray, but her true calling in life was to become a nurse and to take care of the elderly. After retiring from nursing, she spent many more years loving and caring for many children. She loved cooking and spending time with her family and friends but her most favorite thing she loved was dancing.

Shirley was preceded in death by her parents, Ted and Alberta Benson, her beloved husband George Hellmann, her son Gary Hellman, her daughter Debora Doege, and her sisters Theda Catrell and Elaine Weatherford. She is survived by her loving daughter Diana De La O (husband Steve De La O), her grandchildren, Michelle Hellmann, Gary Hellmann Jr. (Courtney), Sherrie Roberts (Camp), Shelly Wilson (Patrick), Shatelle Wolfe (Casey), Misty Francescon (Greg), Ricky Trefzer (Jenny), Jimmy De La O (Sarah), Brandon Grant (Leah), Bryan Grant (Sarah), 19 Great-Grandchildren, and 6 Great-Great-Grandchildren.

2 Timothy 4:7-8

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day-and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing."
