Marian Stevens Shelton
January 20, 1923 — May 21, 2021
Marian Stevens Shelton passed away peacefully after a short illness on May, 21, 2021 knowing that her beloved daughter, son in law, friends and family loved her very much.
Beloved wife of the late Albert Mills Shelton, daughter of the late Robert C. Stevens and Nettie Bergeron and sister of the late Harold Stevens. Beloved mother of Denise S. Ponce and wonderful son in law Manuel T. Ponce, she lived her life on her own terms.
Born in Shriever, La and raised in old Algiers, she attended Our Lady of Holy Mary School, and graduated from Martin Behrman High School, and was married to Albert for 59 years until his death in 2003.
Marian resided in Algiers most of her life, having worked at Western Union as a "roller girl", salesclerk at Maison Blanche and caretaking for her beloved "second children" of which there were many. She once loved bowling, PoKeno, motor bike riding and vacationing in Miami Beach in the summers with friends and family.
Having resided with her daughter and son in law for the last 11 1/2 years, she brought joy and humor to many good times in those years, being surrounded by young people, parties, and much love. Her sense of humor will be missed as will her strong spirit.
Many sincere thanks to Ochsner Westbank Hospital Telemetry unit, Passages Palliative and Hospice Care, and the caring caretakers who helped and loved her so much. We can never thank you enough for being with us through this difficult period.
She loved her cat NuNu, who will be taken care of. A lifelong lover of all animals, she requested in lieu of flowers donations be made to the LASPCA, JSPCA, or Best Friends Animal Society organization of your choice in her honor.
A private burial will be held at Westlawn Memorial Park at a future date.
