Former Tillicum resident murdered in Missouri

June 24, 2013 By The Suburban Times

By Dan Livingston

Macala Shelton was a member of Tillicum Girl Scout Troop 40094 and lived in Tillicum with her family while her mother was stationed at JBLM. I got to know Macala while I served as the director of the Tillicum Youth and Family Center. She was a sweet child with a kind heart. This tragedy is beyond any understanding. Macala attended Woodbrook Middle School before her family relocated to Missouri while her mother was deployed to Afghanistan.

    Thank you Dan for sharing. Our hearts grieve with you as many will do in Tillicum who knew Macala and even those who didn’t know her but will hurt just the same upon reading this news. Macala was a frequent visitor to the boathouse where she loved to fish. Sad beyond words. Let us know what the needs are. Our neighborhood board meets Tuesday evening, June 25.
