Betty Sheldon Obituary

Betty L. Sheldon, age 89, of Hubbard, passed away peacefully into eternal rest on Friday, Jan. 29, 2021, at Trumbull Memorial Hospital in Warren. She was born on Nov. 19, 1931, in Wheeling, WV, the daughter of the late Dorsey Burl Smith and Esta Mae (Duty) Smith. Betty married the love of her life, Raymond R. Sheldon Sr., on Aug. 6, 1953. They have enjoyed the past 67 years of marriage together. She dearly loved her children and grandchildren. They have lived in Hubbard for the last 6 years, formerly of Newton Falls. Betty worked as an Accounts Manager for the DeBartolo Corporation and retired in 1978. She was an active member of the Newton Falls First Church of God for many years and was a member of the Blue Star Mothers, the Columbiana Women's Club, and the Prayer Chain at her church. Betty loved her dogs, especially her newest one, “Daisy.” She enjoyed playing cards, especially “Hand and Foot,” and gardening. She also designed and built several ponds and waterfalls in her gardens. Her favorite pastime, though, was sending beautifully handwritten notes and cards to her family and friends over the years.

Betty is preceded in death by her parents, 1 son, Wayne (Kip) Kipling, 3 brothers, and 5 sisters.

She is survived by her husband, Raymond R. Sheldon Sr. of Hubbard, OH; 1 daughter, Amy McFarland of Newton Falls; 6 sons: Randy & Monica Sheldon of Niles, OH, Kevin Sheldon of Diamond, OH, Rich and Beth Sheldon of Columbiana, OH, Todd & Wyletta Sheldon of Wyoming, Scott & Judith Sheldon of Oregon, Tim Sheldon of West Farmington, OH; 1 brother, Johnny & Ruth Smith of Champion, OH; 17 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren, and 3 great-great-grandchildren.

Private family services will be held. Betty will be laid to rest next to her son, “Kip,” at Paradise Cemetery in Canfield, OH.
