Cherish his memories!
Weldon Shively
Long will be remembered the many Shively gatherings at your home and cottage with brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, in laws, grandkids, etc! You and Mardelle knew how to throw a wonderful party, complete with horseshoes, Jarts, and a smorgasbord of delicious food and beverage! You always were the spark of fun everywhere you went! Your monthly visits to the Astor House to visit with me and my family were so appreciated, even by the staff and residents. You play a mean game of Bingo. Fond memories of our times together from childhood through the ages will continue to support me with your brotherly love!
