Shelley Belinda Distefano, passed away peacefully on March 11, 2025, in Kiln, Mississippi, at the age of 69. Born on March 3, 1956, in Danville, Illinois.

Shelley dedicated her life to caring for others during her nursing career. In addition to her professional achievements, Shelley found immense joy in her personal life. She cherished her hobbies, which included gardening, a passion for baking, exploring nature, and, most of all, spending time with her children and grandchildren.

Shelley is survived by her loving children, Marcus Distefano, Tiffany Dunhurst, and John Distefano. She also leaves behind her cherished siblings: Brian Stewart, Chris Stewart, Jon Ingram, Jeff Stewart, and Brenda Green. Her legacy will live on through her beloved grandchildren, Erica Wheeler, Ella Distefano, Addison Boudreaux, Wesley Crose, Chloe Crose, Barrett Crose, and Alexis Dunhurst; and her dear friend, Vickie Morton, who held a special place in her life

Shelley was preceded in death by her husband, William Distefano, whose memory she carried in her heart; her parents, Dixie Qualls and James Stewart; and her brothers, Michael Stewart and Steven Stewart. Each of these individuals played a significant role in shaping who Shelley was, and their absence is deeply felt.
