Shellie Cagle - 83 - Jan. 21, 2012

Shellie & Bob were long time members and were at many Tri-State festivals. They parked just north of the gate.  Shellie played the bass and loved to sing.

You could always count on Shellie to help out at the festival. She and Bob would often work the gate.

They lived in Detroit area when attending the festivals but Shellie has been in Arizona with her daughter for a number of years.

From her daughter:
Mom passed Sat 1-21-2012 at 12:15 while listening to her bluegrass cassettes I had turned on for her. She stayed in a elder care home and it was just like a house.
She sold her bass many years ago to Dana Cupp Jr for his wife but she would sing and entertain at the home. 
No memorial is planned as that how they wanted it. She is being cremated. She only  had my brother Robert Cagle Jr. and I. Daddy (Bob) left us on May 16, 2008. He left his instruments to the grand kids and only one plays professionally. Adam Cagle has a band in Michigan called Yankeeville.
I am sure she will be playing in heaven with the Bill Monroe and many others.
