Elizabeth Sheffer Zeluff, 93, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on Monday, October 21, 2024.
Affectionately known as Betty to all who knew and loved her, she was born December 13, 1930 in Staunton VA. She was the daughter of McKinley Sheffer and Edith Chapman Sheffer.
Betty married Daniel Zeluff in 1954, and they raised their two daughters, Lynn and Mary, in Mountain Home Arkansas, Aberdeen Scotland, and Charlotte North Carolina before settling in Hendersonville North Carolina for many years.
Betty owned Snelling and Snelling and Uniforce personnel placement services before beginning a long and successful career as a Realtor in the Asheville area.
Betty enjoyed reading, travel and friendship. Betty read thousands of books. She visited all the continents except for Antarctica. She enjoyed entertaining with her many friends. Incredibly warm to everyone, she never met a stranger and enjoyed countless friendships over her lifetime. She served her church, All Souls Cresent, in various capacities for many years.
Faithful, loyal, sweet, intelligent, incredibly well read and well-traveled, she is a shining example of a life well lived. She will be missed by all who knew her.
She is survived by her brother Wayne Sheffer, her daughter Mary Hager (Wayne) and two nephews, Matt and Mark Sheffer.
The family will celebrate Betty’s life together.
In lieu of flowers, they ask that you help someone you know in need as Betty did for so many.
