Shelle J. Galbreath
Shelle J. Galbreath, 58, of Winamac, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, on Thursday, Dec. 8 at Community North Hospital in Indianapolis.
Born on Nov. 18, 1964, in Rochester, she was the daughter of George and Betty (Reinholt) Malott.
She was a 1983 Winamac High School graduate. On May 7, 1988 she married Eric Galbreath.
She enjoyed spending time with her family the most. As a selfless person, she always put her children and grandkids first. She made sure her grandkids were always spoiled, with the cabinets full of cookies, donuts and sweets. Her children were everything to her. She was always there for them no matter what and continued to make dinners and send care packages for them even in their adult years.
Shelle’s favorite time of the year was Christmas. She loved planning their family gathering, giving gifts to her family and their annual Black Friday tradition. Her smile was truly infectious and would light up a room. She will be deeply missed by all who loved and knew her.
Survivors include her husband Eric Galbreath of Winamac; children: Nichole Hawkins [Noah] of Linton, Ryan Galbreath [Holly] of Winamac and Whitney Minnick [Kyle] of Winamac; mother Betty Malott of Winamac; brothers: Randy Malott [Rhonda] of Star City and Gregg Malott [Kris] of Winamac; and grandchildren: Cambry, Bryant, Reece, Rory and Margo.
She was preceded in death by her father George Malott; her grandparents: Alfred and Rosie Reinholt, and George and Martha Malott.
