Shelley Mallett

February 25, 1967 - May 19, 2020

Shelley Alane Mallett, of Forney, passed away into the presence of her Savior on May 19, 2020. Shelley was born Feb. 25, 1967 to Gary and Judy (Kimbrough) Mallett and she was welcomed into Heaven by her grandparents who preceded her in death: Albert and Christine Kimbrough and Woodrow and Veda Mallett. Shelley was a 1985 graduate of Mesquite High School and was a longtime and loyal employee of Interstate Batteries for 20 years. She loved her family and being a Nana to her wonderful grandchildren was the highlight of her life! Time spent shopping at Hobby Lobby with her daughters and friends, playing Bingo or going to the many sports games and activities of her children and grandchildren were Shelley’s favorite times of all. Shelley also had a love for Disney and she and her family traveled many times to the Disney Parks where the best memories she had were with family and friends with the Magic Kingdom in the background! A destination trip to Paris was always on Shelley's list of things she would do and she adored Paris themed decor and pictures. She was a wonderful and fun friend to so many and her beautiful smile lit up every room that she walked into. She had an amazing ability to listen to others and her generous heart always helped with just the right words of encouragement to say. Shelley’s remarkable spirit and unconditional love will be cherished forever by those who loved her and all who knew her. Shelley is survived by her children: Steven Allen Brown and wife, Amanda, Brittani Nicole Brown and Elizabeth Jane Hicks (Janie) and husband, Hunter; grandchildren: Dylan Wesley Brown and Ethan Michael Brown; parents, Gary Lynn, Sr., and Judy Mallett; brother, Gary Lynn Mallett, Jr. and wife, Valerie; niece, Natalie Mallett as well as several aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family and a host of friends, all of whom will miss her greatly. A Celebration of Shelley’s life and legacy will be held at 3:00pm, Friday, May 22, 2020 at First Baptist Church in Forney.
