Willie D. Shell, 74, of Roan Mountain, TN. escaped the painful bounds of
this earth on Saturday, November 23, 2024. Willie was the beloved youngest

his parents, his son Jamey Shell, and many aunts, uncles, cousins and

politics.

Eller; by a son: Kevin Shell; by a grandson, Lucas Eller, and by a great
grandson: Nicholas. He is also survived by his devoted brother and
