With profound sorrow and deep love, we announce the passing of Shelby Richie, who took flight to her heavenly home on January 31, 2025. Shelby was a true miracle-born with a heart full of love, she dedicated her life to spreading peace, kindness and unwavering faith.
Shelby ‘s journey was one of strength, courage, and boundless love. She faced life's challenges with grace, always shining as a beacon of hope and inspiration. She believed in the power of love and worked to bring light into the lives of everyone she met. Her mission was clear: to make believers out of non-believers, to remind us all of the beauty in faith, and to encourage kindness in every moment. She was an earth angel who has now taken her place as a heavenly angel.
She is survived by her loving mother, Valisia Lippitt, and a host of family, friends, and loved ones who will forever cherish her memory. Though our hearts are heavy, we take comfort in knowing that Shelby is at peace, resting in the presence of our Lord.
A Memorial Service of Shelby's life will be held on February 26, 2025 at Midway Missionary Baptist Church at 11:00 AM. Family and friends are invited to come together to honor her legacy of love and faith.
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the good race, I have kept the faith.” - 2 Timothy 4:7
Shelby's love will never fade, and her light will continue to shine in all who knew her. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
Fly high, sweet Shelby. Until we meet again.

To my loving niece, what you have given me over the past 14 years is immeasurable in time if you lived to be 50 years old or longer long after my time expired upon this earth. Funny thing about that statement princess is, that's actually divine order and the way it was supposed to be, you here on this earth long after. My time expired but the way I see it the Lord needed you right now more in his heavenly kingdom and for that I'm so grateful you received your wings. You're in a far better place that we all down here on Gods green pastures would be lucky to see one day. Continued Rest Princess until that glorious day I can hold you in my arms once again to never let go in eternity. Love you and tell everyone I said hello...
To you and your family,
We love you and know that the most high makes no mistakes. Keep your faith and continue to let Shelby shine through your work and strength. Prayers for you all on your healing journey, God got you, continue to take it one day at a time. Love you 💝
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
