 In her earlier years, she was very active in whatever church she belonged to, singing in the choir, teaching Sunday school, and hosting numerous social events. She was very involved with mission projects.  She and Doug went to Montana with Habitat for Humanity to help build homes.  It was an experience she always treasured.  

Shelva was also very proud of the work she did with the Cerebral Palsy Foundation.  Her youngest child was born with CP and she worked for several years with the organization when she lived in Atlanta.  Shelva will be missed by her friends and family.
