Clifford A. Shelley, 59, died Saturday, October 1st, at Lancaster General Hospital after a long battle with cancer. Cliff passed with his loved ones right by his side. He was the son of Dora (McGarvey) Shelley of Quarryville and the late Earl R. Shelley. Cliff graduated from Solanco High School, where he played football and was on the track team. After graduation he worked for Jerome H. Rhoads in Quarryville and Charles Chips in Landisville, before taking a job with High Steel Service Center in Lancaster, where he worked for the rest of his life. Cliff’s joys in life were taking long hikes, going to Solanco high school football games, and watching classic television shows. His greatest joy came in spending time with his grandchildren. In addition to his mother, Cliff is survived by his daughter, Jessica, wife of Lee Seiberlich; son, Robert, his companion Anna Aponte and her daughter Abigail ; step son Ronald Meikrantz, husband of Cassandra; three brothers, Steven, Kevin and Keith; and grandchildren Gavin, Arianna, Aubree, Camron, and Connor; numerous nieces and nephews; and his beloved miniature Doberman, Reese.

Barshinger Cancer Institute and the staff at Lancaster General Hospital. Cliff's life was a precious gift of love, strength, grace, and hope. We appreciate how you have made our world a better, brighter place. "A true father leaves his mark in the world through the love he gives his children."
