Shellyn Marie Stowell
Shellyn Marie Stowell of Martinsburg passed away Saturday, May 17, 2025, comfortably at her home, at the way-too-young age of 43.
Born September 15, 1981, she is survived and missed by her husband Zack, three boys Tucker, Bo, and Max, parents Bill and Nina, parents-in-law Mike and Tina, brothers Joe and Tyler, sisters-in-law Amber and Jordan, and brother-in-law Matt. She also leaves behind a huge group of nephews, nieces, cousins, aunts and uncles, as well as a fantastic group of friends.
Shelly was a breath of fresh air for all who had the privilege to spend time with her. Her journey on this earth was marked by an appreciation for the simple things that life has to offer; she truly enjoyed smelling flowers, hearing birds, and seeing Christmas lights. Her passing has left a void in the hearts of everyone that she touched. We ask that you remember her not for how she passed but for how she lived – please take a breath, slow down, and enjoy the precious moments that life has to offer.
Shelly grew up in Shepherdstown, WV and graduated from West Virginia University in 2005. She was employed at John Marsh Cancer Center in Hagerstown MD, where she worked among some of the most incredible people that this world has to offer.
Her greatest joy in life came from being a mother to her three boys. She enjoyed watching their sports, watching them play outside, and cooking them dinner. Their voices, smiles, and laughter provided her happiness, and she created the coziest of homes to raise them. Shelly planned and enjoyed family camping trips and activities, and loved to volunteer at their schools. For her last birthday, she chose to take her kids to “bounce the city.”
A visitation will be held from 5:00pm to 7:00pm on June 1, 2025, at St. Agnes Catholic Church in Shepherdstown WV. A funeral will be held the following day, June 2, 2025, at 11:00am also at St. Agnes Catholic Church. Interment is not scheduled at this time.
In lieu of flowers, you can help cure cancer. Shelly requested donations go to Cancer Vaccine Coalition (CVC), a nonprofit dedicated to groundbreaking breast cancer treatments that will save lives.
