Sheliah worked at West Virginia State University in the office of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs. She wore several hats in addition to her job title as Administrative Assistant. She was a mentor, mother, counselor, friend, advisor, teacher, and an overall life coach.
Family and friends were an important part of Sheliah's life. Her greatest attribute was her love and devotion for her family. She was a source of direction and strength for her children and grandchildren. Sheliah was united in marriage to Steven L. Payne for 28 years.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Reta Brothers.
