Shelba Muncy

Shelba Jean Muncy was born to the late Robert & LaVina Williams, a coal miner and a homemaker, in Meally, KY on November 2, 1937. After experiencing a typical Appalachian childhood, Shelba eventually graduated Meade Memorial High School and soon migrated to the Fairborn, Ohio area, where she married her true love & champion, Farrell Lee Muncy. Together, the newlyweds set about building a beautiful life, eventually purchasing what came to be their warm & welcoming home, in a then-brand-new housing development called Lindair Acres and establishing a thriving family grocery business, which served the Enon, Ohio community for decades. The arrival of the couple's only child, Elizabeth - added to the couple's happiness, with the three forming a cozy family unit and ultimately creating a safe harbor - at Lindair - for those who might need a helping hand or simply a place to spend the night. What really meant the most to Shelba & Lee was the wellbeing of their daughter and the rest of their cherished family. And those blessed enough to know them - knew they could be counted on - to share the best of themselves - to offer common sense advice and/or hand you a fifty-dollar-bill, because they innately knew a little extra cash could only help most any situation. Shelba was a larger-than-life personality, a true "kaleidoscope of colors" - who had many and varied interests. She never shied away from pontificating about her progressive political opinions, often over the airwaves of the local talk radio station, much to the chagrin of its more conservative audience and the host. She was known over the airwaves as "Sherri" - a strong - confident lady - who'd take-on even the most controversial of topics - with wit, style & substance. Not that Shelba was all talk, she also sang her heart out. A lifelong lover of all types of music, she once fronted a Country Band in the early 1980's, along with her beloved brother Robert, Jr. And well into her golden years, Shelba took much pleasure in listening to the rhythm & rhyme of the tunes she loved so much - performed by artists as diverse as Bob Dylan to Elvis to Pavarotti. Shelba is survived by her beloved daughter & son-in-law, Elizabeth Muncy & John Nasta. And she is also survived by her best friend of sixty-plus-years, Patricia Toler, along with her many nephews and nieces & their respective spouses, plus other special relatives, like Travis Collins of Lexington, KY. Preceding Shelba in death were her husband, her parents; her sisters, Anna Ruth Williams; Wanda McCarty; Tera Williams; Betty Thurman, along with her brother, Robert Williams Jr. and her nephew, Rob Williams. Shelba died on March 29th - after a lengthy illness. She will be laid to rest on Noon, March 31st in Enon Cemetery, Enon, Ohio. With Adkins Funeral Home, Enon, assisting with Shelba's last wishes. In lieu of flowers, donations in Shelba's memory to held offset the funeral cost would be most appreciated.
