Edith Mae Shelton

Edith Mae Shelton worked since she was 17 when she started at McCrory stores, until 2007 when she stopped working at Davis Polk. She had retired in 2004 and worked part-time for three more years in the accounting department. She always worked hard. She was fair and loyal to her employer. She was a friend to many. She was a mother and friend to me all of my 54 years on this earth. She will be missed by me and those who knew and/or loved her.

While she was not perfect, she was human. Those of you who did not know or did not get a chance to meet her missed out on being a friend or acquaintance to a fine lady.

Twenty-Third Psalm

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;

He leadeth me beside the still waters. He

restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the

paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of

the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for

Thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they

comfort me. Thou preparest a table before

me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou

anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth

over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow

me all the days of my life: and I shall dwell

in the house of the Lord forever.
