[Cecil Stokes]

Shelby Jean Taylor Guinn, 83, of Huntsville, passed away Wednesday, 
October 20, 2021.

Mrs. Guinn was born in Huntsville to Shelby P. and Eva Ivy Taylor. She 
married Gerald R. 'Jerry' Guinn September 19, 1960.

A longtime member of Whitesburg Baptist Church, Shelby Jean was always a 
deeply spiritual person. She made a resolute commitment, completely sold 
out to Jesus Christ during a Brush Arbor revival at Martha Fleming's 
home on Whitesburg. Her favorite verse was Jeremiah 29:11 'For I know 
the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and 
not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.' She taught 
Sunday School and was involved in children's ministries in the church. 
Shelby Jean was a volunteer with Meals on Wheels and an active member of 
Christian Women's Club. Nouthetic Christian Counseling was her passion. 
She served as Court Appointed Juvenile Advocate CAJA for many years 
assisting the court with children caught up in family conflicts. She had 
a special gift for flower arranging and, for years, prepared the table 
arrangements for dinners at the church. Her other hobby was RV'ing with 
family and friends and she was very much into Huntsville History. She 
was employed for a time at Teledyne Brown Engineering.

Survivors include her husband, Dr. Gerald R. Guinn; daughter, Patricia 
'Patti' Annette Guinn; granddaughters, Dr. Joy Deshazo of Huntsville and 
Camille Deshazo of Madison; grandson, Jake Deshazo of Telluride, CO; and 
sister, Susan Bailey of Birmingham. She was preceded in death by her 
parents and daughter, Sharon.

Visitation will be from 5:00 – 6:00 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 24th, at 
Whitesburg Baptist Church South Campus. A graveside service will be at 
11:00 a.m. Monday, Oct. 25th, at Maple Hill Cemetery.
