Thelma M. Shellenberger Compton, born May 19, 1927, peacefully transcended from this life on July 6, 2011 in Mesa, AZ. She is survived by three of her six children, Mark A. Shellenberger of Globe, Stanley A. Shellenberger of Buenos Aires, Argentina and Karen Holley of Mesa, 14 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her children Bill, David and Dennis Shellenberger. She had two great husbands, William F. Shellenberger and Gilbert O. Compton, both deceased. She knew we have a divine nature and destiny. She followed God’s Plan of Salvation. She knew it is the surest way to find happiness and endure life’s challenges. She knew her life would not end when she passed, she knew her future life was determined by the way she lived her life here on Earth and that she would live again with God. She loved her family and her friends and was always there to lend a hand and give her love to all. She will be surely missed by all who knew her. There will be a graveside service for Thelma at 9:30 am Monday July 11, 2011 at Mountain View Cemetery, 7900 E. Main St., Mesa, AZ 85207 (480-832-2850).
