Moore was born Shelley Riley in Miami, Florida, on July 15, 1926, the daughter of Sadie Wardlow (née Wellens) and Jacob Lewis Riley. While earning a degree in education at West Virginia University, she met Arch A. Moore, Jr., whom she married in 1949. She taught school in Pennsylvania for several years before her husband entered politics. After serving for 12 years in the United States House of Representatives, Arch Moore was elected Governor. As First Lady, she gave speeches throughout West Virginia and appeared at college campuses, vocational facilities, library dedication ceremonies, and before civic and religious groups. She took an interest in promoting the West Virginia Governor's Mansion and offered public tours of the mansion. She also conducted televised tours and started the West Virginia Mansion Preservation Foundation to help restore and maintain the mansion.

Moore died September 13, 2014, according to a statement released by her family.
