About Shelley

Whether you want to preserve memories for generations to come or honor a loved one who has died, I am here to help you share that story.

As a certified celebrant, I work closely with families to create funeral and celebration of life services that are deeply personal — services that truly reflect the life that was lived and the love that remains.

My background as a feature writer and public speaker, along with a past career as a high school English teacher, equips me to capture and craft meaningful spoken and written stories. I know how to find the thread of a life and weave it into words that resonate in a room full of family and friends there to say goodbye.

Most importantly, I am an attentive and empathetic listener with an ability to hear what you truly want to share. When we sit down together — whether in person or by phone — I listen carefully, ask gently, and make space for the stories that matter most.

Families across the Twin Cities have trusted me to stand at the front of the room and speak the words that need to be said. It is a privilege I do not take lightly.

I look forward to connecting with you,
