I mean, it's just so much better when it's fresh...
―Shelly to an Alexandria resident about food.[src]

Shelly Neudermeyer (née unknown) is a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead. She is a resident of the Alexandria Safe Zone.

Overview[]

Shelly is described as a very talkative and outgoing woman, and is generally very friendly. She has a smoking habit, much to the disdain of others, which Carol criticizes since in the apocalypse there is already enough things trying to kill them. Like most of the Alexandrians, Shelly hasn't been accustomed outside the walls. When the hostile Wolves attack the community, Shelly ends up being one of the first victims, ironically when she was outside smoking.

Shelly attends Deanna's welcoming party for the new arrivals and socializes with the other residents and the new arrivals. As Sasha is overwhelmed by the party guests, Shelly is talking to another resident about the freshness of food at the party.

Season 6[]

"JSS"[]

Shelly is at the pantry with Carol, Olivia, and Erin going over the food supply and gathering ingredients to prepare for dinner, where she adds a comment about her disgust for paprika before complaining about the old noodles they have in stock. Carol then tells her she can teach her how to make noodles, only if she stops smoking inside the house, to which she quietly agrees. As Shelly smokes outside her house later that day, one of the invading Wolves takes her by surprise and brutally kills her with a machete as Carol watches horrified from her window.

Death[]
