I saw her about 2 years ago when visiting my sister in Clarenville after not seeing her for over 20 years. She was still the same Shelley. Hold on to your memories.

It is with profound sadness to hear of Shelly’s passing, and the void she has left in your lives. It’s sometimes hard to find good at these sad times, but I know the goodness and joy she brought into Steve’s world. And the joy teaching, helping others brought to hers. It’s nice to remember that perhaps it’s not how long we mortals live but how well we lived and the impact we have on others, that determines the value of each of us. Shelly’s impact will be felt for generations to come. She lived a short but good life. Let’s try to remember this at this time. We send our love.

June 9, 2026 at 12:15 amSo sorry for your loss. Keith and I send our sincerest condolences to Jesse and Stephen, and the rest of her family and friends. I spent quite a bit of time working with her and she was a wonderful teacher.
She has definitely left many memories with so many of her students. I remember one day in particular, in Dec. a few years back. She hadn’t been feeling well, yet, after a visit to the hospital, she returned with Tim Bits for her class. It was one of the last days before Christmas break. A very thoughtful thing to do.
She wanted the best for her students and family. She would do anything for them. Gone too soon.
You are in our thoughts.
Hold on to your memories.
