Sincerely Linda (nee Hogberg)
Bev Emmons (Wymenga):
My condolences to Shelleys family and friends. We used to ride the school bus together in the mid 70s. She only lived a few miles from us back then and we would play at her place with the other neighbour kids. She was always a lot of fun and full of energy. I ran into her again in the early 90s and it was like time had not passed. She had a good heart and stood up for what she believed in. I am grateful to have known her. May you be comforted by all your wonderful memories of her until you meet again.

I met Shelley more than 15 years ago when she was working at Rolf’s. We used to stop in there for coffee after our bus runs and we quickly became friends. She made the crib blanket for my 15-year-old son. I didn’t see much of her until three years ago when Sophia and Talon joined Cadets. Ever since she’s been my cadet buddy. I found her again to be a hard-working, loving, bend over backwards for her children and grandchildren type of lady. She was my friend. I have so much respect for her. And I will miss her so.,,,
Sending love and prayers to her family.
Blessings to your journey, my friend. I hear it’s beautiful over there.
Diane Rodgers:
I never met my cousin but my condolences to the rest of the family. We’re promised a resurrection. I look forward to meeting her in the future. God bless you all.
Kris Skeels:
I was so very sorry to hear about the loss of Shelley. She was a powerhouse member within the Rocky Sea Cadets and Navy League. She was quick to take on more than her share of volunteer shifts and was always ready with a joke or a smile and an offer to help out. Her wit and kindness as well as her dedication to our Corps will be truly missed. She quickly became a good friend to me and I miss her dearly. Sincerest condolences to Sophia and Rob and the rest of her family. Fondest memories and best wishes to all who loved her.

Shelly was a fun loving leader in the Scouting movement. She supported the boys and led them on wild adventures. Her son Lyle and mine became chief scouts together. She also worked for us at the GTI in Rocky and was always upbeat and cheerful. I remember the day she brought her new truck to work. She was so proud. She will be missed.
