Shelley was born, raised and lived in Delaware for 61 years until 2018 when she and Sheila moved to Kincardine. Shelley was a proud 45 year member of the Delaware Legion Br. 598 and a life member of its Auxiliary. She was an avid biker and a member of several clubs.

Hundreds of hats have been donated to the homeless and needy. Many of her friends have been recipients of her scrolling creations. She will be sadly missed by her family, comrades, biker buddies and her many friends.
A special thank you to the surgeons and nurses at the Owen Sound Hospital for their care and compassion.
