Shelley R. James

This is to inform you of Shelley R. James’s change of address effective Sunday, July 1, 2018. Shelley relocated from rural Van Wert to her heavenly mansion at 6:10 a.m. into the arms of the one who truly loves her: Jesus Christ.

Shelley was born November 2, 1959, in Van Wert, the daughter of Hilda (Mericle) Springer and Ronald E. Reichenbach, who both preceded her in death.

She is survived by her children, Matthew Reinhard of Fostoria, Kyle Sterrett of Ohio City, and Alisha Elder of Van Wert. Shelley’s legacy will be carried on by the most precious possessions she had: her grandchildren Layla, Laelynn, and Isabella. Shelley is also survived by a brother, Kyle Reichenbach of Worthington.

Her younger sister, Angie Eimers, preceded her in death.

Shelley worked as a home health aide until the time of her relocation. She deeply loved her grandchildren and rooted fanatically for the Dallas Cowboys and the Ohio State Buckeyes. She is and will be deeply missed by all but especially by Roxanne and Sophia, her fur babies.

A private memorial service will be held at a later date.

Preferred memorials: Van Wert County Humane Society.

Arrangements were made by Alspach-Gearhart Funeral Home & Crematory in Van Wert.
