Reba Jean Shell McAfee, 79, of Ossian, passed away at home Wednesday, July 19, 2023.
She was born June 4, 1944, in Coxton, Ky. She was the daughter of Virgil and Christine Curry Shell.
She retired from Lutheran Hospital. The joys of her life were her husband, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Her hobbies were spending time with her family, mowing the yard, and dancing with all of her kids. She knew no stranger, had a heart of gold, and would help anyone in need. She was a loving, remarkable, and amazing woman. She will be deeply missed.

She is also survived by several nephews and many friends.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Donald; a son, Jerry; a daughter, Angel, and a grandson, Tony Jr.
We would like to thank Stillwater Hospice and a special nurse Tina.
