Nancy Shirley Sellers

November 4, 1954 — November 12, 2018

Nancy Shirley Sellers at the age of 64, won her battle with cancer as she went to be with her Heavenly Father on the morning of November 12, 2018. She was a lifelong resident of Hayesville, NC. Shirley was the daughter of the late Kenneth and Louise Hoffman Ledford. She was preceded in death by sister, Fleta Norton, and brother, David Ledford.
She is survived by her husband of 31 years, Stephen "Doc" Sellers of Hayesville, NC; Daughter, Heidi Aaron (Richie) of Braselton, Ga; Son, Dylan Sellers of Charleston, SC; two beautiful granddaughters Kemerson and Emmalyn Aaron. Sisters: Peggy Sedberry (Danny) of Mt. Gilead, NC; Patsy Gribble (Mike) of Hayesville, NC; Pam Martin (Ken) of Hayesville, NC. Brother-in-law, Charlie Norton of Loganville, Ga and sister-in-law, Sharon Ledford and many nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews.
She was a beloved Mother, Granna, wife, sister, aunt, and friend. She was a selfless lady who loved her husband, children, and granddaughters, Kemerson and Emmalyn, with all her heart. Shirley's talents were displayed by her singing, floral arrangements and cooking which she enjoyed. Everyone else enjoyed her cooking too, especially her dressing.
Shirley was a faithful member of Mission Hill Baptist Church of Hayesville, NC for over 30 years. She dedicated her life to the children at the church as the teacher but also an example of a true Christian. Every year she directed the Christmas and Easter programs and unselfishly gave many hours of her time. Shirley's love and her faith for the Lord was evident in every part of her life even up until the end when she peacefully passed and saw the wonderful things that she had taught all the children about at church.
Shirley was one of a kind and will truly be missed, but she left behind a legacy of love and true unwavering faith.
