Richards-Shelton, Mary Anne (nee Nelson) passed from this world of darkness and pain into the Eternal light on December 21, 2015. She is survived by Gene Shelton, her constant companion and devoted care giver for many years. Their son, Russell was the light of her life and the reason she never gave up hope. Together, they were the world to Mary. She was born to the late Charles and Edna Nelson. Surviving family also include her sister, Kathy (Steve) Bebermeyer and their children, Don (Tina) Schulte, Amy (Mel) Appleton and Steven Bebermeyer, and her brother, Charlie (Tammy) Nelson and their son Aaron Nelson. A special cousin of Darlene (Jeff) and a friend to all. Mary was a kind hearted loving person. If she had nothing, she would find a way to give to someone in need. Please keep Gene and Russell in your prayers at this most difficult time.
