Shelva Dean England

Our Mama, Shelva Dean England, 77, of Springdale, went to be with our Lord Jesus Christ on Tuesday, Oct. 14, 2014, at Circle of Life Hospice in Springdale, where everyone gave such loving care to her and us. We truly thank you. Shelva was born Jan. 10, 1937, in Steele, Mo., to Cecil Edward and Sinda Marie Cotner Jordan. She resided at Shiloh Health & Rehab for two years and at Fayetteville City Hospital for one year. We are grateful to all the staff for the awesome care and love that she received from both homes. She was a member of The Sanctuary in Lincoln and was a homemaker. She is survived by four children, Freida England Ray and husband, Keith, of Siloam Springs, Tonia England Garcia and husband, Fermin, of Fayetteville, Glenn England and wife, Kerry, of Elkins, and her baby boy, Jody England of Hendersonville, Tenn.; one sister, Pearlene Duff of Union City, Tenn.; 11 grandchildren, Bianca, Ashley, Skyler, Brandon, Jordan, Aaron, Britney, Travis, Trevor, Olivia and Gavin; and five great-grandchildren, Katelyn, Kinley, Jalen, Weston and Layton. We will miss you so very much. We know you are in heaven teaching all of God's angels the "Shelva Shuffle." We also extend a special thanks to our sister, Freida, who took care of her for so many years. A memorial service will be 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 17 at Heritage Funeral Home Chapel, with the Rev. Kris Essary officiating.
