Sandra Shelley, 65, died Friday, August 28, 2020 at Willow Gardens Care Center in Marion, Iowa. She was born May 13, 1955 and grew up in New Castle, Indiana. She was the daughter of Benton and Leatha (Roberts) Shelley.

Sandra had an infectious personality. Some of her favorite pastimes would be reading inspirational fiction novels such as The Walk, When Love Comes Softly, and The Covenant and volunteering in any way she could for Oakland Church of the Nazarene. She had an amazing impact on everyone she met and will remain in the hearts of all fortunate enough to call her a friend.

Surviving are her children, Emily Cox of Anamosa, Iowa, Rachel Cox of Marion, Iowa, Jonathan Cox of Ames, Iowa, and Joshua Cox of Center Point, Iowa; sister Lana Hines of New Castle, Indiana; brother Danny Shelley of Florida; special aunt Barbara Nipp of New Castle, Indiana; two grandchildren, many nieces, nephews, and cousins along with dear friends Marsha (Tim) Siefer of Marion, Iowa who provided much love and support.

She was preceded in death by her parents.
