Brown (nee Ramage), Shelly
September 3, 2024
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. Shelly passed away on September 3, 2024 with friends and family by her side.
Shelly was predeceased by her parents Erna and Alex Ramage and her life partner “Brucie” Hunt. She is survived by her daughters Tracey Johnson (Dean) and Lori Brown. She also leaves to mourn her six grandchildren Shayanne Brown (Denny), Alexandria Johnson (Mike), Jestin Janzen (Gina), Kelsi Brown (Jordan), Steven Hess and Jared Hess (Mackenzie); twelve great-grandchildren; her sister Carol Fawcett (Gerry) and her brother Jim Ramage.
Shelly was a hard worker but also enjoyed her time with her kids and was always up for taking them and a car load of their friends roller skating, swimming, camping or on many other adventures where she would usually have the whole car load singing songs or playing road trip games. She would later extend these good times to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was able to make each and every one of her grandchildren feel very special.
Shelly enjoyed learning and a little later on in life went back to University and received her B.A (hons) in psychology and finally on to earn her Masters of Education (counselling psychology) at the University of Calgary. She then spent many years being able to put her education to use. She was a great friend to all who knew her and was truly a believer in “no man gets left behind”, this idealism showed on holidays and family gatherings where there was always extra plates and lots of food for good friends or anyone who may be spending the holidays alone or far away from their families. She was a non-judgemental listening ear to many of her friends and family and was usually able to offer some good advice on a wide array of topics (and there were a lot over the years). She loved her time at her camper at the lake, where again, everybody was welcome. She had a great sense of humour and I think most would agree she was usually the life of the party. When she was at home she enjoyed her deck and having coffee or a drink with neighbours and was grateful for all the help she received from them after she lost her “Brucie”.
To say Shelly will be a missing presence in the lives of her family would be an understatement.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice.
Please join the family at Regina Funeral Home, 4001 Victoria Ave. E., Regina, SK on Friday, September 20, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. to Celebrate Shelly’s Life. Livestream link to the service is available at: https://funeraweb.tv/en/diffusions/97509.

I worked on a committee with Shelly for quite a few years and always found her contributions to be a great mix of compassion and wisdom. My consonances to all her friends and family.

Shelly would make everyone’s day feel full after visiting her, even if the day just started. She had one of the best smiles seen in the image above, I wish I could’ve done more with my great grandma. But she did more than enough for everyone who knew her, and this is why she will be widely missed. Thank you grandma.

Dear family I am a cousin of Shelly on her dad's side of the family. My mom was his sister Edith. I didn’t have the opportunity to know Shelly very well as our parent came from a very big family (14) and they spread out all over the west and no one had a lot of money to spare so going to visit your cousins was seldom but they did come once to BC as teenagers. Shelly and Carol were just a bit older than me and it was the days of sling back shoes and one of them had a pair and I just loved them. In the Columbia valley only had one shoe store and not a great one at that or Eatons or Sears. Anyway they left them for me when they not home I was very happy and loved those shoes to death. I was able to spend some time years later when Shelly's mom and dad moved to Alberta and I had moved my mom and dad to Airdrie and was able to get to know them and her brother Jim as well.

I was lucky enough to work with and then hang out with Shelly at Meadow Lark. Lucky because she is a rare human being. One who always made me feel welcome, always available to talk to and helped with situations she didn’t have too. A beautiful soul whose vibrance and shine shall never fade!

My thoughts are with Shelly’s family and friends. I knew Shelly many years back, a lot of fun and great heart.

My first home after high school, moving to Regina, was with Shelly and her girls. I have many fond memories of that time in my life. Of course, we crossed each others path over the years. It was a joy to catch up with each others lives. It was always comfortable as if we seen each other yesterday. Shelly was one of a kind and will be missed by many. Hugs Tracey and Lori, I know this is a huge loss for you both. She is at peace now and I am quite sure she had to rattle the Pearly gates just a little to warn everyone she has arrived.

Shelley will be greatly missed by all that knew her but never forgotten. We will be away at the time of celebration but will think of you on that day.

The world is truly a little less bright without Auntie Shelly in it. She always had a ready and willing smile. We had good, deep, thought provoking talks. I really enjoyed them. Often, I would walk away a little wiser. Thank you so much for sharing a little piece of your mother, grandmother and friend with us. I can't imagine your pain. She's truly memorable...Our thoughts are with you...
