Shelley Lee Bethel, 46, of Roanoke, went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, March 16, 2022. She was born on October 10, 1975, in Beckley, WV. Shelley was a wonderful and loving wife, stepmom, daughter, sister, and auntie. She is preceded in death by her parents, Grant and Linda Bailey.
Those left to cherish her memory are her devoted husband of 17 years, Lacy Bethel Jr; stepson, Dalton (Hailie) Bethel; brother, John (Deanne) Bailey; sister, Kimberley (Roy) Harrison; brother, Ramey Bailey; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Lacy Bethel Sr., and Rebecca Bethel; sister-in-law, Tracie (Tom) Farrell; nephew, Kyle Farrell; nieces, Danielle Newman and Hannah Harrison, as well as many friends who will miss her dearly.
Shelley was retired after being the Branch Manager of Best Distributing for many years. She loved kayaking on the James River with her husband and friends and playing with her two labs, Tonka and Tracker. She also enjoyed tending to her garden every year wearing her big, wide-brimmed straw hat.
Anyone who knew Shelley was touched by her kindness and witty humor. She will forever remain in our hearts.
