Later she attended the College of Emporia, the State College of Boulder, Colorado and the University of Southern California. She was also a graduate of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago, Illinois. She taught in the public schools of this county and city for ten years.
For many years she gave her entire love and devotion to her parents and would not consider anything that would interfere with her care of them until after they had both passed into the life beyond.
On September 19, 1923 she was married to H L Shellenberger and in August of the following year, they moved to California making their home at Reseda since that time.
From her youngest girlhood she was a very sincere Christian and worker in the church. She was baptized on June 10, 1888, when less than three years old by Rev Noah Asher and was received into full membership in the Methodist church here in Lyons, on October 3, 1897 by Rev T Hanna.

She was a beautiful and devoted Christian character, greatly loved by all who knew her. Her friends were all who ever made her acquaintance. She leaves behind her in deep bereavement her husband, 3 sisters, 2 brothers and a little baby girl, Carol Fay, for whom she gave her life.
The funeral was held Wednesday, April 18, from the First Methodist church in Lyons and was conducted by the pastor, Rev J E Thackery, assisted by 2 former pastors, the Rev J F Irwin of Hutchinson, Kansas and Dr O L Sample of Medford, Oklahoma.
These pastors paid tributes to her beautiful Christian character and the unusual service she had rendered the church.
A double quartette furnished appropriate music and "Crossing the Bar" was effectively rendered by Mrs Elsie Hartroft who sang the same solo at Mrs Shellenberger's parents' funerals. Mrs Haven presided at the Methodist church organ. The church was filled with relatives and friends from far and near who came to pay tribute to the departed.

Following were the pall bearers: Hal Alderman, Albert Reed, Ernest Reed, John Burger, and Forrest Ebright. Honorary pall bearers: Maxine Nordstrom, Blanche Harris, Virginia Meyer, Eunice McPherson, Marie Miller and Virginia Hinshaw.
She was laid to rest by the side of her parents in Graceland cemetery.
