Shelby Jean Nobles Villar, 79, of Pensacola, FL passed away on Sunday, August 6, 2017. Jean was born on April 17, 1938 and raised in Pensacola, FL, and travelled the world with her late husband Emanuel John Villar, II (Manny) and children throughout Europe and the United States. She was a loving wife of over 55 years, mother, grandmother and newly great grandmother. She was a Majorette at PHS, an avid gardener of hydrangeas, a painter of beachscapes and a traveler. She was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis nearly 20 years ago and never let it change the way that she loved and laughed. Her indomitable spirit was an inspiration to all who were lucky enough to know her, love her and see just how strong a woman she was.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Emanuel John Villar II and her parents, Myrtle and Roscoe Nobles.

She is survived by her daughters, Tracie Cobia (George), Martha Tringas (Greg) and Shelby J. Villar; grandchildren, Clint Cobia (Kristina), Caleb Cobia (Pevee), Courtney Cobia, Collin Cobia, Tyler Tringas and Kyle Tringas; great granddaughter, Coral Maya Cobia and her sisters, Carol Sagebiel and Joy Simpson (Troy).

A Funeral cortege will depart Harper-Morris Memorial Chapel at 10:30am Tuesday, August 8, 2017 for Barrancas National Cemetery where Graveside services will be held at 11:00am. Chaplain Ken Griffin will officiate.

Special thanks to the staff at the Beacon at Gulf Breeze for their tender loving care of our mother and grandmother.
