NOTE: SERVICE TIME HAS CHANGED TO 3:30 PM ON SUNDAY

Shelley passed quietly today after a year long battle with cancer. She is survived by her loving children Joseph, Sarah and Charlie Talboys and Michael and Arminda Knape and wonderful grandchildren Isabelle, Ben and Morgan Jean. Also surviving is her beautiful Mother Edith Rashewsky and sisters Lisa Rashewsky and Dorothy Berg and many nieces, nephews and dear, lifelong friends.

Shelley’s passions in life were loving and strengthening her extended family, spending time with our grandchildren and celebrating lifelong friendships with a giggling Birthday Club lunch or spirited Mah-Jongg or Cribbage game.

She will be sorely missed by everyone that knew her engaging smile and infectious laugh, including her loving husband Tom of 42 years.

Her funeral service will be held on Sunday, September 11, 2022 at 3:30 PM at Congregation Ahavas Israel, 2727 Michigan Street NE. Interment in Greenwood Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, Shelley’s family would appreciate donations in her name to Congregation Ahavas Israel. You may share a memory or sign her guestbook at www.heritagelifestory.com
