Janel Clauss wrote a sympathy message

“Shelly had a heart of gold! She always had a smile. We worked together for many years at State Farm. Every few months we would send a text. So sorry to hear of her passing but know she is pain free and at peace with God. Will miss her!”

“I worked with Shellie for many years at State Farm. She was like sunshine on a rainy day. Usually smiling and always welcoming, she was a pleasure to have known. I know she is with her Savior and at peace.”
