So sad to hear the news. Enjoyed getting to know Shelly as her chiropractor many years ago. A wonderful, caring and compassionate person. Her family was the most important thing to her. She will be missed by all who knew her. Peace.

I met Shelly at Golds Gym years ago. Caught up with her again this past year at Planet Fitness. She was a resilient and consistent soul. Tracey she would tell me about your health issues and
ask me to pray for you. Always thinking of others. As much as she struggled trying to work out to keep herself going, she never complained. You were a tough lady. She inspired many and didn't even know it. Sweet friend I will miss you. Heaven got another angel!

Meeting Shelly in junior high school became one of the most memorable moments of my life because of her always beautiful upbeat outlook, bright smile and helpful nature. Thanks for your wonderful memories.

Shelley was always the coolest kid in our class. We only recently reconnected but I loved her posts and comments. We shared a deep love of animals and I will miss her terribly.

I remember Shelly from Tecumseh Junior and High School. She always had a smile on her face and was able to make us laugh with the simplest remark. My condolences to her family and friends.

It had been since graduation that we had any contact but social media gave us a chance to communicate, I will miss all your stories and sweet messages you would send. Rest in heaven and know you will be missed by so many. Deborah Coker
