Shelby Wilson, 71, departed this life, Tuesday, January 1, 2008, at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio following a long illness.
Shelby was born Sept. 7, 1936 in Sophia to Fred and Ada Godfrey Brewer.
Shelby graduated from Concord College with a Bachelor of Science in Education, and earned Masters Degrees from COGS and West Virginia University. She was employed by the Wyoming County Board of Education for over 40 years. She is fondly remembered by her former students and fellow teachers as a devoted educator with a love of reading that she instilled in many children. From 1989 to 2000 she served as Assistant Director of the Title I Program and Parent Involvement Coordinator for the Wyoming County School System. Under her leadership, the Parent Involvement Program was very successful and received many commendations from the State of West Virginia.
Shelby was an active member of the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International, and organization for outstanding women educators. She was first initiated into Xi Chapter, Raleigh County, in 1975. As chairman of Xi Chapter's expansion committee, she helped organize the Alpha Theta Chapter, Wyoming County, in 1978. She became a charter member by transfer, served on several committees and was elected chapter president for 1994 to 1996.
Shelby was very active in the Beta Sigma Phi Sorority International and was active member of several chapter levels. She also maintained several friendships with her classmates from Sophia High School and enjoyed meeting with them regularly.
She was an avid WVU Mountaineer football and basketball fan and rarely missed a game.
She will be remembered as a loving wife, mother, teacher and friend with a wonderful sense of humor. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her.
Those left to cherish her memory are her husband, David Carter Wilson of Oceana; a son, David C. Wilson Jr. and his wife, Kristie of Charlotte, N.C.; a daughter, Betty Holt and her husband, Jim of Glade Springs; a sister, Virginia Black of Wake Forest, N.C.; three grandchildren, Jay Holt, Katie Holt and Michael Holt all of Glade Springs; several nieces and nephews and a host of friends.
A celebration of Shelby's life will be 1:00 p.m. Sunday, January 6, 2008, at Adam Toler Memorial Chapel with Rev. Jim Hamrick officiating. Shelby will be laid to rest in Blue Ridge Memorial Gardens, Beckley.
