Ernest Shelvey passed away peacefully on December 12, 2024. He transitioned into heaven after 97 years of living well. He is in a better place. (2 Corinthians 5:7-8)

He will be missed by Bertha, his life-partner of 68 years, and his children, Donna, Greg (Sandra), Judith (Hillar), and Bruce (Debi Jo), grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. He is survived by his brother, Roy, and numerous in-laws, nephews, and nieces. Family and friends will miss his kind heart, generous spirit, and gentle manner. Ernest joins those who passed before him including his parents (Halhad and Eva), three sisters (Muriel, Eileen, and Bernice), and his brothers (Elmer and Percy).
