Even though our mother, did not have a choice in whether or not she had cancer, the choices she could make were so beautiful: gardening, reading, traveling, attending church, visiting friends, laughing, going to an Angel game, and loving her children and grandchildren.
She was born November 19, 1927 in Council Bluffs, Iowa. She was the second of three children. She married her beloved husband, Belvin Henry Shupe on January 25, 1947. They had twenty-two loving and meaningful years. Belvin preceded her in death fifty years before.
She spent those years raising Melissa Shupe alone. She lived the Word! She preached the Word! Taught the Word! Sang the Word and proclaimed the Word until she met Jesus face to face.
She is survived by her three daughters, Marsha Deanna Baker, Marjorie Velma Doyle, and Melissa Lee Shupe. Two sons-in-law, Allan Richard Doyle and James Monroe Baker. Eight grandchildren and their spouses. Twenty-two great-grandchildren, and four great great-grandchildren.
Visitation will be held at the Hillcrest Memorial Park, Wednesday, May 27, 2020, 8 AM to 12 PM (masks are required in the chapel), with the graveside service following at 1:00 PM (masks not required outdoors).
