Shelby Jean Burchfield Wilcox, 83, of the Pleasant Valley community, went home to her Savior on Saturday, March 28, 2020.
She was born Sept. 27, 1936, the only child of the late Mack and Ozzie (Browning) Burchfield. She lived all of her life on the family farm.

Shelby was married to Joe Wilcox for 53 years until his death. In addition to her husband, daughter Carol Parker and grandson William Joe McCool preceded her in death.

Her faith was the most important part of Shelby's life. She made sure that her children memorized scripture. Her days began and ended with Bible study and prayer. Shelby was saved at an early age. She was a faithful member of Pleasant Valley Baptist Church for more than seven decades where she taught children's Sunday School and ladies classes. She was an active participant in Bible Study Fellowship for 50 years where she served as a children and a women's class leader.
