Shelley passed from this life on November 13, 2019, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She was born on July 21, 1966, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. She was the daughter of Chester Don and Jewell Elaine (Braden) Lee. Shelley grew up in Cleveland, attending school and later graduating from Cleveland High School with the Class of 1984. She was active in band, pep club as well as track. Following high school, Shelley was united in marriage and gained two sons C.J. and Bryan Dell. She worked at Thrifty Car Rental in Tulsa before being transferred to Los Angeles, California. Shelley soon accepted a position with EDS and resided in Atlanta, Ft. Lauderdale, Houston, and lastly, in Plano. While living in Houston, Shelley ran two and a half marathons. In the early 1990s, Shelley returned to the Cleveland area and began working at Syntroleum as an administrative assistant. Shelley was currently employed as an IT Asset Supervisor with Matrix in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for the past five years.

Shelley enjoyed cross-stitching, needlework, stamping, and other arts and crafts. She also enjoyed cooking, especially grilling. Shelley liked to travel, especially to the beach where she could put her “……toes in the sand.” Riding motorcycles was a pastime for her and always talked about her trip to Sturgis. Most of all, in life, Shelley loved helping others and being at her home, as well as photographing the sunrises over Keystone Lake.
