SHELLEY MARIE COOPER

SHELLEY MARIE COOPER (née Ebel) May 11, 1961 – June 15, 2023 Our world has been forever changed and our hearts are heavy as we say ‘see you later’ to our beautiful hero Shelley Marie Cooper (Ebel) who fought hard and courageously for 2.5 years against advanced stage ovarian cancer. A dedication to all women, Shelley participated in a clinical trial which we cannot be more proud of. Shelley (Ebel) was born May 11, 1961 and passed away June 15, 2023 peacefully at her home in Manitowaning on the shores of South Bay with family by her side. Shelley will be deeply missed by her husband Gary and her children Kyla (Kyle), Lisa (Chris) and Caleb (Carrie-Ann). Shelley was special in the eyes of her granddaughter Kallie and her bonus grandchildren Jack, Noah, Zander and Emma. Although she didn’t get to meet her newly expected grandbaby due in the new year, baby Cooper will be reminded daily of her love for them. Predeceased by her father George Ebel and father-in-law Max Cooper. Sadly missed by her mother Marie Ebel (Rheal), her brother Dwight (Norine), her sister Heidi (John) and mother-in-law Ellen Cooper. She will be missed by many in-laws, nephews, and nieces as well as friends and coworkers. The girls and weekends at Kewadin will be missing a piece of their puzzle. Shelley would often be seen walking the property with her two best fur friends, Clara and Chessa. Proud fur Mom/Nana to Clara, Chessa, Whisky, Miller, Alley and Lucy. Shelley spent almost 37 hardworking and dedicated years as a Registered Practical Nurse at Mindemoya Hospital. Her coworkers and patients will always have a piece of her heart. Shelley had a heart of gold, and it was in her nature to be kind, compassionate and loving. We would like to thank the many supports and health care professionals including Dr. Pitre and the Northeast Cancer Centre, Manitoulin Health Care Centre staff, Bayshore Healthcare, Proresp, the Christadelphian Ecclesia and countless friends, neighbours and family who we cannot be more grateful for. We would especially like to thank Dr. Bedard who helped make her comfortable in her last days and supported our family. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Shelley – the remarkable wife, mother and woman rests in peace while waiting for the return of Our Lord. She will forever be in our hearts. May you have a better sleep than after your night shifts Mom. Love you to the full moon and back. A celebration of life will be held on July 15th, 2023 from 3-7PM at Gary and Shelley’s lakefront property in Clover Valley. (306 South Bay Drive, Manitowaning). A short service will be held on this date at 3:30PM. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in honor of Shelley to Angel Hair for Kids, Mindemoya Hospital Auxillary or the Northeast Cancer Society or a donation of your choice.
