We all lost something when Shelly passed. A relative, other, friend, coworker. Knowing her for the past 15+ years has been a pleasure. She will hold a special place in all our hearts! Say hi to Charley for us! Godspeed my friend!

Shelly will always hold a special place at First Student. I feel honored to have known her for 10 years. She always had some sort of quick response to any sisuation and her "quirky" loving sense of humor! She was welcoming and was always the first person you seen when you walked to the building. I will miss her dearly.
My condolance to her family and children who have lost an amazing mommy.
Please always remember, she loved you children more the you think and will be with you always. Xoxo

I could not believe it when I heard this. Shelley was one of the first people I met when I started at Oakdale. She was always quick with a joke. She even kept in contact and was always waving every time I'd pass her after I left for other companies. Many a great memory will be kept by everyone she knew. Such a great person lost way to soon. Prayers for the family in this time of sorrow and loss. I will remember u always my friend.

I worked at First Student many years with Shelly. I enjoyed her sense of humor very much. Plus, she knew almost all the children and all the routes. She took me to a Cirque du Soleil show at Mystic Lake, which I had always been dying to go see. She will be greatly missed by us all! Every day I walk in to work expecting to see her. They say we can all be easily replaced, but I don't think that's true of Shelly. I am very sorry to her family for your loss. I laugh to myself remembering all the funny things she would say. Words cannot say enough, but I just wanted to say how much I (and many, many more) at work are going to miss her. First Student will not be the same without her!I know your lives won't be, either.
