Willard Agee Shelor Nov. 20, 1921 - May 19, 2016 MISHAWAKA - Willard Agee Shelor, 94, of Mishawaka, IN, passed away 9:40 p.m. Thursday, May 19, 2016, in South Bend Hospice House.

Willard was born on November 20, 1921, in Floyd County, VA, to Henry E. and Venia "Ada" (Bishop) Shelor.

Willard is survived by his children, Tammy (Todd) Blain of Plainfield, IL, Sandie Machler and Debra Jacobs, both of Mishawaka, Gary Shelor of Jasper, FL; his stepchildren, Hillary Patricia (Gene) Bunn of Fort Worth, TX, Melina Perdue (Tom) McDonald of Roanoke, VA, Tanya Carroll- Basulto of Delray Beach, FL; twelve grandchildren, eighteen great-grandchildren and one great-greatgrandchild.

Willard and his wife, Patricia, raised a grandson, Troy Marino as their own who he fondly called "Buckshot."

Willard was preceded in death by his wife Patricia on December 23, 2001, his parents, and his siblings, David "Ervin" Shelor, Geneva Kester and Henry "Ernie" Shelor Jr.

Willard entered into the U.S. Navy when he was 17 years old. He served on the USS Cache (AO) in 1942. This refueling ship was struck portside by a submarine torpedo and later decommissioned in 1946. Willard was the hardest working and most selfless man you would ever meet. He worked hard each day to provide for his family, rarely missing a day of work. He began his career working two full-time jobs. Willard worked at Studebaker for 18 years until the business dissolved. While at Studebaker, he began another full-time position as one of two drivers for Smelser Concrete. Smelser was later purchased by Valley Concrete in Mishawaka where Willard continued his career as a concrete driver. In 1971, Kuert Concrete purchased Valley and Willard became their Number 3 Driver. Willard retired from Kuert Concrete in August 2000 at 78 years young with over 38 years of service. He was always proud that he could work circles around men half his age. Willard retired to care for his wife Patricia who was battling lung cancer. Willard loved to stay busy on his Farmall and John Deere tractors. If he was outside, he was happy. He was a longstanding member of the V.F.W. Post #360, American Legion, Teamsters and Moose.

Visitation for Willard will be on Friday, May 27, 2016, from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m., and one hour prior to the service in the Bubb Funeral Chapel, 3910 N.
