Not sure what to say?

Shelle was such a great teacher and friend at Paradise Valley Community College. She was involved in a lot great initiatives and programs on campus and worked closely with instructors to improve student learning. Shelle is greatly missed.

Shelle Witten was, is an amazing person, in education, as well! I was a student, who met her, spent time in the library, getting to know her. I am grateful, for all her dedication, spirit, inside of her passion for helping students. I share a picture, a tribute of her, that was put up in the library; she made a difference, every day. What does love have to do with what we do, EVERYTHING. Witten is missed, all the time, for her generosity in every day matters, kind, good and so much more. She...

Shelle will be truly missed. Her smile and energy always lit up a room. Thank you for everything Shelle!

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same. I will miss our heart to heart talks and your genuine friendship Shelle.

Shelle brought so much joy and energy to all of the wonderful ideas that she had that made the library and PVCC such wonderful places to be. I'm so grateful to have known her and to have experienced the light she brought to our students and her colleagues.

Shelle you will be missed. I hope to meet up with you. You are such an amazing lady. I love you.

Shelle has been my dearest friend and mentor for over 20 years. She was my guiding light in designing and developing the Paradise Valley Community College Archives (history of the school). She was like a mom to all of us at the library with personal attention and gifts for the library kitchen each year. That kitchen was much better stocked than my kitchen at home.

I will not be able to attend the Papago Park Service because I will be in Portland Oregon visiting my new grandson who...

Shelle was a great colleague and consummate professional whose work made our library and community richer in many ways. As a lover of the arts, she was a kindred spirit who will be missed greatly.

Shelle was one of the warm, kindest people I have had the pleasure of knowing. She cared about her work, she cared about others, and was always willing to help. She was especially kind to me during some difficult times. When I remember her, I think of her positive spirit and energy. She will be missed but not forgotten.
