Shelly was born on March 11, 1971 in Emporia Kansas to Clark and Patricia (Meston) Wells. When Shelly was three, the family moved to Amarillo where she attended school and graduated from Randall High School. She went on to study at Texas A & M where she earned her Bachelor of Science and Master of Science Degrees in Chemical Engineering. She had been employed with Valero in Dumas and most recently in New Orleans where she served as the HSE Director. She was united in marriage to Darrell Williamson on June 12, 1993 in Amarillo.
Shelly was a fun loving lady who was full of life and joy. Shelly was known to always have a smile on her face and loved being with and spending time with her family. Above all was the love she had for her granddaughter. Nothing made her happier than spending time with Hayden; she was her world. Shelly touched many lives and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
She is preceded in death by her father; maternal grandparents Orvis and Olive Meston; paternal grandparents Charles and Clydie Wells, all of Nebraska.
Shelly is survived by her husband Darrell of the home; daughter Madison Mendez and husband Derek of Dumas; granddaughter Hayden of Dumas; mother Patricia Wells of Kuna, Idaho; sister Sheri Roberts and husband Jay of Amarillo; brother Clark Wells Jr. of Kuna, Idaho; niece Shasta Merrill and husband Kyle and their children Kooper and Jase; nephew Jay Roberts Jr, all of Amarillo; and numerous other extended family members.
