To know Shelly was a true gift as she was kind at heart and if you were her friend she had your back 100% of the time. She absolutely adored the children she cared for as an Infant/Toddler and Preschool Teacher and she dedicated her life to the children. When out shopping, she often heard "Hey Mom! There's Ms Shelly" and Shelly always took the time to stop and speak with them. She always had a smile that just lit up a room and her laugh was nothing short of contagious and never passed up an opportunity to purchase a purse or a tote bag.
Visitation will take place at Lynch & Sons Funeral Directors, 39 W. Burdick, Oxford on Saturday, March 5, 2022 from 11-12 with the funeral service beginning at 12. Interment Mt. Pleasant Oakwood Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made in her name to Reach Out and Read (reachoutandread.org), which provides training, resources and support to families to make reading aloud a daily routine by helping integrate reading into pediatric practices, advise about the importance of reading with their children and share books that serve as a catalyst for healthy childhood development.
