Judith "Judy" Ann Shelton

Judith “Judy” Ann Bell Shelton of Columbia, Tennessee passed on September 21, 2019 at her home surrounded by family.

Judy was born on October 2, 1957 in Franklin County, Tennessee to the late William Rufus Bell and Dorothy “Southern” Floyd. She was of the Baptist faith. She worked as a cook for 20 years, first at Heritage Manor and then Rosewood Manor. She retired to take care of her grandbabies who all call her “Mimi.” She was a loving wife and person, who never met a stranger. Judy cooked for everyone, it was her way of taking care of them. Her door was always open whether it be family, her children’s friends, or a stranger in need. She enjoyed shopping, especially when she found a good bargain, just to give to someone else. Judy loved her dog, Molly.

She is survived by her loving husband of 46 years: Charlie Shelton, Sr.; son: Charles Shelton, Jr.; daughter: Nicky McClain; daughter: Laura (Mondray) Matthews, all of Columbia, Tennessee; grandchildren, her babies: K.D.
