Shelby loved riding her motorcycle on day trips, but most of all she loved her family and lived her life for them. She always made sure everyone felt loved and would do anything for them In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Lyndle Buchanan and her sister, Jennifer Buchanan.
