Shelley Lisle

Shelley Lisle of Liberty Hill, TX, passed away on July 22, 2024, and is united in Heaven with her mother, Willa Jean Bowdoin, stepfather George Bowdoin, father, Herman Lee Wall, and brother, Dennis “Joe” Wall.

Shelley grew up in Victoria, Texas, and graduated from Lanier High School in Austin. She attended the University of Texas at Austin and earned a bachelor's in education. 

A person of deep faith, Shelley met her husband Ron in the Spring of 1990 at Bethany United Methodist Church. They were married in January 1991. Uniting their two families, they built their lives rooted in their faith in God and deep love for each other. Shelley was an outstanding mom. She encouraged her children to explore their world through a broad array of pursuits ranging from church youth groups, theatre, choir, and sports. Shelley’s personal interests included sewing, gardening, cooking, singing, traveling, and volunteering with her church. 

Shelley was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006. Over the next 18 years, she chose to live a life filled with adventure and a passion for the blessing of each new day. She obtained a motorcycle license, learned to scuba dive, and turned in their house keys for an RV to travel the United States and Canada.

It is her warm heart, beautiful laughter, and enduring love that will remain in the hearts of all who knew Shelley. She will forever be remembered as a faithful servant of God, a loving and devoted wife, and the best mom to her children and grandchildren.

Shelley is survived by her devoted husband of 33 years, Ron Lisle; her children, Brian Payne and wife Tracy; Aaron Payne and wife Valerie; Jessie Lisle and partner Tyler Barker; Jackie Lisle and partner Rhys Topo; six grandchildren, Ethan, Gillian, Scarlett, Lacey, JT, and Melody; two sisters Vickie Hetzel and Jukie Faust; her two brothers Scott Gilliam and Brick Wall; and many nieces and nephews.
