Michelle "Shelli" Berard Obituary
Michelle Ann "Shelli" Berard, 61, passed away on April 20, 2025, in Bellingham, Washington. Born on August 9, 1963, in Bellingham.
Shelli was known for her friendly and outgoing nature. She had a remarkable ability to connect with people and took genuine joy in everyday conversations. During her time working at the Grocery Outlet store, she brightened the days of many with her cheerful demeanor and warm presence.
A creative soul, Shelli found joy in expressing herself through art and drawing. Her creativity also flourished in her garden and kitchen, where she nurtured plants and prepared meals with care and imagination. Whether sketching a new design, tending to flowers, or cooking something special, she brought heart and artistry to all she did.
Shelli is lovingly remembered by her mother, Anna May Berard; her brother, David Berard (Susan); nephews, Matthew Berard and Craig Berard (Carisa); niece, Kimberly Berard; Aunt and Uncle, Mary Ann and Larry Johnson; and cousins, Kristin Clemenson (Shawn) and Anjie Altschwager. She was preceded in death by her father, James Berard.
May Shelli's memory bring comfort to those who knew and loved her.
