Shelly was a delight to those around her and those who knew her best were charmed by her lovely smile and gentle spirit. She was an angel. She brought joy into the lives around her. Although Shelly had Down’s syndrome, that did not stop her from graduating high school and working several jobs where she did menial work and said “I did good job. I did good work.” She adored music, dancing, and singing with her favorite uncle and Mickey Mouse. She loved the holidays and her mom’s home cooked meals. Her time with her family for celebrations and gatherings were among her favorite times of her life. Her favorite time of the year was her birthday and she would remind you. She enjoyed working puzzles and doing word searches. She lived in a group home with loving care providers who took great care of her and were charmed by her loving nature. She liked to swim and took family trips with her sister’s family and her two nephews, whom she adored and showered with affection.
