Lisa Joan Shelf
Lisa J. Shelf, 62, of Simpsonville, went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Tuesday, January 28, 2025.
Born in Greenville, she was the daughter of the late Bobby L. & Sylvia Blackmon Shelf Sr. Lisa had a gift of music and loved to play her flute and piano. She loved to be in nature, whether it be grabbing a pole to catch some fish or combing the beaches for another shark tooth or seashell! Lisa was a schoolteacher for over 40 years and loved each and every one of her students like her very own child.
Lisa is survived by her children, Kelby Anton Wendt of Greenville, and Karoline Christian of VA; two grandchildren, Anna Bly Christian, and Nadie Luwinna Christian; and her brother, Chip Shelf and his wife, Teresa of Simpsonville.
She was preceded in death by her niece, Sarah H. Shelf.
Service arrangements will be announced once finalized.
