Shelley attended a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) vocational program through Career Enrichment Park (CEP) during her senior year in high school and continued on to Pima Medical Institute to complete the program by earning her CNA skill. Shelley experienced and dealt with a lot of trauma, stress, and mental issues all throughout her life. Despite her limitations and challenges, she was able to graduate from high school and obtain a skill. Because of her mental limitations and challenges, Shelley was disabled for most of her life. Shelley worked hard trying to be a good person to do what was best for her and her immediate family. Shelley loved music and had a genre of musical artists she liked. She loved make-up, perfume, clothes, Betty Boop, cats, singing and writing songs, playing the piano whenever she could find one to play on, collecting porcelain dolls, Holly Hobbie, and Raggedy Ann and Andy. 

Shelley is remembered for her singing and for having a beautiful voice. She was a member of the “ShowStoppers” choir at Ranum High school. She is remembered especially for enjoying the joys of the Christmas season. It was her favorite time of the year. She loved christmas trees, lights, ornaments, fudge, food, family, and most of all, presents and her stocking.
