Shelley Clark Fardelmann passed over on Wednesday October, 8th in Exeter NH.
Shelley graduated from St. Thomas Aquinas High School and attended New Hampshire Technical College where she studied writing and human services and was a member of Phi Theta Kappa. She loved working with children at Head Start and Seacoast Montessori. She also enjoyed creating beautiful quilts and watercolors.
Shelley lived a full life, mostly in the seacoast. She was blessed to have family, friends and caregivers who loved her dearly. She appreciated every kind word or deed that came her way. Those who knew her will miss her wonderful smile, her sense of humor, and her deep compassion for those in need.
Shelley became a devout Christian and devoted much of her adult life to Jesus.
She followed His lead by giving regularly to her favorite charities. She was very concerned about human trafficking and let her world know about it. Her church is now actively involved in helping this cause. She also loved making meals at church for people who were homeless.
Shelley is survived by her mother Charlotte Lyman Fardelmann of Exeter; her father and stepmother, Dr. Dale von Prief Fardelmann and Jean Fardelmann of Jonesport, Maine; brother and sister-in-law, George Fardelmann and Janice Pinhero of St. Andrews, NB; brother and sister-in-law James von Prief Fardelmann and Dr. Karin Lamar of Dover; uncle Norton Cross Lyman, Fort Lauderdale, FL; aunt Margaret Weidman of Peconic, NY; brother-in- law Scott Olson of Flagstaff, AZ; and several cousins, nieces and nephews.
