Our beautiful and loving mother, Shelby Burnett, of Asheville, NC, died peacefully on June 25 surrounded by her family. She was a kind and smart woman who loved her family deeply. She made a positive impact on everyone she met and will be missed greatly.

Siblings: Wanda Anderson of Marshall, Barbara Cupp, Johnny Cupp, Annie Smart of Asheville, and other family and friends. Predeceased by her mother Vada Tweed and brother Jimmy Hurst.
