Shellie Ruiz Leon Green, 69, passed away peacefully on September 25, 2024, surrounded by her beloved husband and children, just as she wished. Born on June 4, 1955, in Cotulla, Texas, to Jose Ruiz and Refugia Cristan Ruiz, Shellie cherished her family above all else.
She was the proud mother of three children from her first marriage, and her grandchildren were her greatest blessings. Every weekend, you could find her at a grandchild’s sports game or dance performance. Family gatherings were a highlight of her life, and she dedicated herself to keeping her extended family close.
Shellie worked for Litton/Northrup Grumman for over 35 years as an electronics technician, where she made many lifelong friends. She married the love of her life, Douglas Green, on August 20, 2005. Together, they shared countless adventures, enjoying weekly movie dates every Tuesday night and many vacations. Shellie loved to travel the world, exploring new places, experiencing diverse cultures, and most of all, relaxing on the beach.
Shellie had the most beautiful soul, she knew how to make people laugh, feel loved and she was always someone you could count on. Her favorite holiday was Halloween and would always try to battle the neighbors for the best Halloween decorations and had the best Halloween parties. She was a big 49ers fan, enjoyed her season tickets to the Utes football games and watching the Utah Jazz play.
Shellie is survived by her husband, Douglas Green; her three children, Oscar Leon (Laura), Alicia Leon (Kevin), and Mark Leon (Yessica); two stepchildren, Sid Green (Mattie) and Kayla Green; twelve grandchildren; one great-grandchild; her siblings, Yogi, Janey, Eval, and John; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Josie.
A Celebration of Life will be held for Shellie on Saturday, October 19, 2024, from 5:00 to 9:00 PM at Bountiful Davis Art Center located at 90 N Main Street, Bountiful, UT 84010.
