Obituary
Born May 13, 1936 in Camilla, Georgia, he was the oldest child of the late Albert Shelton, Sr. and Clinnie Mae Wright Banks.
He was a dedicated and faithful member of Friendship Missionary Baptist Church in Camilla, Georgia, where he served on the deacon board for sixty-eight years.
He was united in marriage to the former Ruby Lee Ross, who preceded him in death. He later united in marriage to the former Willie Mae Jackson.
He was known best as a people person. Many will remember him, especially the kids, for his dog impression that sounded just like a real dog. Also, we cannot leave out his many jokes that he constantly told on a daily basis.
