He was born on August 18th, 1931 to parents Irl J. Shamel and Freda Lineback Shamel. He grew up in the Mt. Tabor Community of Forsyth County. He was the third of four children; three boys, and one girl.<\/p>\n
Herman graduated from Old Town high school, having attended there from grades one to twelve. It was there that he met his \u201cForever Love\u201d Peggy Conrad in the fifth grade. He attended Western Carolina College on a basketball scholarship, having graduated as captain of the team. Years later, he returned to serve on the alumni council. After having been a member of Mt. Tabor church as a boy, Herman joined New Hope Methodist upon marrying Peggy Conrad on Sept 3rd, 1955. He served in various capacities, especially working with the youth. He served in the US Navy as a Corpsman in Portsmouth, NH, and Newport, RI. Following his honorable discharge from the Navy, he joined Wachovia Bank, now Wells Fargo, beginning his career in Greensboro, NC, and later in Asheboro, NC, where he was very active in the Jaycees. After returning to Winston-Salem in 1969, he received \u201cMan of the Year\u201d award. Herman retired from Wachovia as a VP in Sales Finance. After retirement, he especially enjoyed golf and bridge, but most of all, his family and their activities and travels.<\/p>\n
Herman is pre-deceased by parents and siblings; Fred (Betty Jo), Elmo (Louise), and Evelyn Sapp (Johnny). He is survived by wife Peggy; sons Gray (Mary) and Thomas (Valerie); grandsons Aaron (Jenifer), Noah (Carlie), Tommy; granddaughter Heather Shamel; great-granddaughter Caroline Shamel.<\/p>\n

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to New Hope Methodist Church, P.O. Box 110, Bethania, NC 27010 or Trellis Supportive Care 101 Hospice Lane, Winston-Salem, NC 27103.
