Shelton Lee Seilhan, 87, of Hemphill, Texas passed away Thursday, May 19, 2022 in Nacogdoches, Texas.

Shelton was born in Iota, Louisiana on September 20, 1934 to Isaac Seilhan and Honorine Leger Seilhan.  He had served his country as a member of the United States Navy and later worked as a mechanic before retiring.  Having previously lived in Orange, Texas, he had been a Sabine County resident for more than 40 years and was a member of St. Pius I Catholic Church.  In his spare time, he enjoyed hunting, being outdoors, and family crawfish boils.  He also liked woodworking, building furniture and rocking horses for the grandkids.
