Mrs. Robbie Ashley Jeter, 98, of 810 Frederick St. Shelby, NC departed this life on Wednesday, October 9, 2013 at her residence.  She was born on May 3, 1915 in York Co., SC to Robert Edward and Essie Feamster Ashley.  She was their third eldest child.

 

Mrs. Jeter met her husband, Earl Jeter and they married on October 26, 1935.  To their union were born seven children.  She and her husband relocated the family to Shelby in 1942.  Mrs. Jeter joined Eskridge Grove Baptist Church where she remained a member for over 70 years.  Over the years, she served on the usher board and with the missionary department.

 

She was employed with the family of Thomas and Doris Tedder for many years.  In her spare time, she enjoyed quilting, sewing and gardening.  Mrs. Jeter was an easygoing but no nonsense person.  When she said something she meant it and stood by it.
