Shelly Zarbock Fenn was born on September 13, 1950 to Arthur and Jan Zarbock in Houston, Texas, and lost her battle to Cancer and was called Home to Him on March 24, 2024.
She was preceded in death by her parents, sister Debbie, and grandson Travis Lee Fenn. She is survived by her sons Todd and wife Heidi, and Brad and wife April, and grandchildren Todd Fenn Jr, Thomas Fenn, Alexandria Diaz, and Braden Diaz.
Shelly was a beloved mother and grandmother who devoted her life to her family, and all of her animals. She was an avid gardener, and passed on her green thumb and love of gardening along to her sons and grandsons. She also passed on to them her love of cooking and was overjoyed when her grandsons would text her pics of the food they made, or when they'd make one of her recipes. She loved nothing more than spending time together as a family. Before she passed away, we reminisced about our love of going to Galveston and sitting on the beach while listening to the waves crashing, her favorite vacations with us to Hawaii and Banff, and the wonderful trip to Ireland she took with her life-long friend Elaine.
She was the strongest and most courageous woman we've ever known, who fought as hard as she could until the very end. Giving up was simply not in her vocabulary. Life will never be the same without her, but we are so grateful for all the time and memories we will continue to cherish of our time with her over the years.
