Join us in celebrating Mary Ann—please share your stories and photos, and help spread the word about this page!
(Nee Monical) Beloved wife of the late Robert Earl Shelton, quietly joined him in eternal life on November 1, 2021, All Saints Day, at the age of 95.
She is survived by her children Mary Frances (Jerry) Stephani, Robert (Blake) Shelton, Joanie (David) Garramone, Katie (Robert Pester) Thatcher, and Sean (Melody) Shelton. She was blessed with nine Grandchildren and fourteen Great Grandchildren. Mary Ann is further survived by her half-sister, Carol (Monical) Hull of South Carolina, and many treasured friends. She was preceded in death by dear, lifelong friend Raymond King.
Daughter of Mary ("Mazie" McLaughlin) Monical and Hiram Monical, she grew up in Ewen, MI before her move to Milwaukee, WI following her marriage. Upon retirement in 1993, she and Bob relocated to Green Bay, WI until her final move to Brookfield, WI in 2020.
Mary Ann was a registered nurse, graduating from Mercy School of Nursing in Detroit, in 1946. She spent her 40 year career in many facets of nursing service but was most gratified by her time spent in patient care at local hospitals.
A devout Catholic, she lovingly gave her time to St. Bernard's Parish in Green Bay, as a Lector, Sacristy Assistant, and Eucharistic Minister. Mary Ann enjoyed dancing, entertaining, needle point, crossword puzzles, and golf (in her younger days!)
