Shelly Renee Worden Copeland

Shelly Renee Worden Copeland, age 41, of Cabot, Arkansas, moved to heaven on November 18, 2023. She was born to Jimmy and Sharon Worden November 25, 1981, in Jacksonville, AR. Shelly graduated from Cabot High School. She married William "Bill" Edmund Copeland November 3, 2001, and on January 29, 2013, Shelly and Bill adopted Gavin Edmund and Izibelle "Izzy" Grace Copeland to complete their family. Shelly was an active member of Victory Worship Center where she served as the Director of the Women's Ministry and an irreplaceable member of the Worship Team. She lived an exuberant life. Every task she undertook she did for the glory of God. 

In May of 2022, Shelly purchased Beebe Flower Shop with her sister Amanda Vickers (despite her self-proclaimed dislike of receiving flowers.) Shelly used the flower shop to touch many lives with her unwavering faith and innumerable talents. All these talents she credited as God-given. Shelly loved to fill her life and the lives of others with beauty through her talent for decorating and arranging. Working at the flower shop allowed her to exercise those talents and share them with her community. 

Her voice was powerfully anointed both in singing and speaking, and her love of worship was unmatched. Shelly was a counselor and confidant to many, and her faith remained steadfast until her last day on earth. Shelly left this life the way she spent it, surrounded by music, family, and loved ones. 

Shelly is preceded in death by maternal grandparents Claude and Erma House; paternal grandparents James and Freda Worden; and her three unborn children.

Shelly is survived by her husband William "Bill" Edmund Copeland; children Gavin Edmund and Izibelle "Izzy" Grace Copeland; parents Jimmy and Sharon Worden; sister Amanda [Cody] Vickers, nieces Savannah Garringer, Catherine "Abby" Vickers, Peyton Vickers, Maggie Pemberton, and Tulah Pemberton; nephews Eldon Vickers, Tyler Pemberton, Noah Pemberton, and Wyatt Pemberton; Mother-In-Law Gina Calvillo; and Brother-In-Law Aaron [Laura] Pemberton. 

Shelly's Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, November 24^th, 2:00 p.m. at Victory Worship Center in Beebe, AR. Visitation will be at 1pm. Burial will follow at Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Cabot, AR. 

Pallbearers will be Cody Vickers, Brent Sims, Davey House, Larry Naylor, Caleb Conley, and Tommy Morris.
