Shelley Deanne Botel

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our mother and friend to all lives she touched.

Shelley Deanne Botel of Kamloops, was born on November 29, 1955 and passed peacefully at home, surrounded by her loving family on August 3rd, 2022.

Our Mom was a great Mom. She was easy to talk to, lean on, and confide in. She took others under her wing that needed a "Mom" or "Mom advice". We couldn't go anywhere without bumping into someone she knew. She always loved to stop and catch up or talk on the phone FOREVER. Although she loved to talk, she was an exceptional listener.

Mom's passion was traveling. She LOVED to travel with our father/her husband of 39 years Doug, and other family and friends. When they weren't traveling, they were planning their next holiday. Sometimes it was a simple weekend to the Coast, a girls shopping trip, or someplace hot in the winter.

Mom worked for the TD bank in Kamloops in her earlier years. She loved working with the public, creating life long friendships and making all of her customers feel important. For the past several years she's worked in various government sectors in administration, the latest being at KRCC. She cherished the friendships she made. You will always hold a special place in our hearts for all your support and kindness. Thank you to family and friends that have supported us along the way.

A special thank you to her care-aid Shelley, for being amazing! You always brightened her day.

Shelley is predeceased by her father Douglas Alberts. She is survived by her husband Douglas Botel, mother Audrey Alberts, her children Naomi Landygo (Kerry), Ryan Botel (Sarah); grandsons Alexander Landygo (McKayla)and Nicholas Landygo. She is also survived by her siblings Vicki Alberts of Regina Sask, Brad Alberts (Therese)of Kamloops BC, and Allison Alberts of Vancouver BC. Numerous nieces and nephews. 

Please celebrate her memory in anyway you see fit: taking that trip, watching wildlife, spreading wild flowers

.Rest In Peace Mom, Love Naomi and Ryan XOXO
