Shelbe Pauline Gingerich was born June 19, 1991, the daughter of Pat Gingerich and Connie Byrnes in Iowa City, Iowa. Shelbe graduated from Tipton High School in 2010. On November 21, 2012, Shelbe married the love of her life, Bert Axline, and gained a beloved son, Logan, the very same day. Family was her first love and priority.
