Age 84, Mountain Park - Services will be 2:00 PM Friday at the First Baptist Church of Snyder with Rev. David Swafford of Springfield, Missouri and Rev. Randell Newby of Yale, Oklahoma, officiating. Mrs. Shelton went to be with the Lord in the early morning hours of Christmas Eve, 2007. Burial will be in the Fairlawn Cemetery under the direction of the Becker Funeral Home of Snyder. The family will receive friends Thursday from 6-8 PM at the funeral home. She was born on January 12, 1923 to Henry and Bessie (Mizell) Estoll in Lindale, Texas. Dorothy was the third of seven children. She attended school at Con-8 in Centerville, Oklahoma and became the proud recipient of a GED in 1993. At the age of 15 she met Wilton J. Shelton and the two married in a ceremony in 1941 at Manitou, Oklahoma. They traveled a great deal during their 44-year marriage, living all over the Western United States and producing eleven children along the way. Used to caring for many kids, Dorothy never had to deal with an empty-nest, as she became a beloved "grandma" to many more children as a school employee/cook in the Navajo and Snyder/Mountain Park schools until she retired at the age of 78. She was an active member of the First Assembly of God Church in Snyder, where she served as the Secretary/Treasurer for many years. Dorothy kept a sharp mind by attending classes at WOSC, doing crossword puzzles, and memorizing entire chapters of the Bible. As a brilliant seamstress, painter and crochet artist she provided her family with many tokens of her love and proof of her talents. Grandma Dot will be forever missed and remembered for her enduring love and faith; her many talents and for those famous cinnamon rolls and chocolate gravy. Beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend; she was preceded in death by her parents, four sisters, one brother, one grandchild, one son-in-law and her husband.
