Shelley Lynn KELLY

Peacefully at Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice on Sunday, February 13, 2022, in her 58th year. Beloved wife of Paul for 33 years. Loving mother of Alannah, Michaela, and Siobhan who meant more to her than anything else in the world. Predeceased by her parents Jay and Marilyn Neale. Shelley is survived by her brother Greg Neale(Jess), whose laughs helped sustain Shelley throughout many difficult times. Sadly missed by her special cousins Tara, Lisa, Lara and their families. Sister-in-law to Kathleen(Tom), Steve (Debbie), and the late Carolyn. Loved daughter-in-law of Carmela Kelly. Aunt to Matthew, Daniel, Thomas, Eric, Colin, Maia, Lewis, Indy, and Tilly. Also leaves behind one plump cat (Gus). Shelley was a beloved Kindergarten teacher with the HWCDSB for 35 years. She was truly appreciative of the love her students brought to her life. Shelley courageously battled Stage IV Breast Cancer for over 15 years. It would be impossible to list all the operations, drug regimens, blood tests, chemotherapy/ radiation sessions and hospitalizations Shelley endured, but she did it with dignity and grace, always more concerned about others than herself. Many thanks to Dr. Peter Ellis and the wonderful staff at the Juravinski Cancer Centre for providing years of excellent care. Heartfelt thanks to the caring staff at Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice especially nurses Mary and Madison(and her friend Willow). Thank you also to our friend and neighbour Tracy for her many Home Care visits. Healthcare workers are truly angels on Earth. Special thanks to the many friends who enriched Shelley's life and were always there for her, especially Anna, Daniela, Kathy, Greg, Henry, Kim, Carolyn, Colette, Karen, Jeff and Colleen, Earlene, Dana, and Alison. As per Shelley's wishes there will be no visitation. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Saturday February 19, at 11:00 a.m. at St Margaret Mary Church, 20 Idlewood Ave. Hamilton. Donations may be made to the Juravinski Cancer Centre, Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice or the
SPCA.
