Obituary of Shelby Sutton Englebretson

Shelby Sutton Englebretson passed away on Friday July 29, 2022

Shelby was born on August 8, 1979 in Huron, South Dakota to parents, Mark and Louise(Sutton) Englebretson.

Shelby had three children and was a very hard-working woman. She started her career as a flagger and worked her way to the top as a pipeliner. Shelby loved that career for over ten years. She loved floating on the river, cooking and watching her favorite television programs, like House Hunters and cooking shows. As much as she loved cooking, you couldn’t find her enjoying the cleanup. Shelby had many interests, but she most enjoyed spending time with her family. Her grandkids were the light of her life, along with her boyfriend, Thomas Pierson. They met in 2016, and Shelby was so happy that she had finally met her true love.

Shelby was always laughing and throughout her life, continued to impact so many people. Shelby was a powerful woman and had the ability to have fun with anyone, anywhere. She will be missed by many.

Shelby is survived by her daughter, Casandra Garcia, Deveron Molden and their two children, Amiyah and Asaiah; daughters Hailee Cunningham and Elicia Garcia; son, Marcus Flores; boyfriend, Thomas Pierson; siblings, Angela(Steve) Savage, Viola Deffenbaugh, Levi Leach and Austin Martinez and lots of nieces and nephews.

Shelby is preceded in death by her parents, Mark and Louise Englebretson.
