Obituary of Shelby Brooke Entz

It is with great sadness in our hearts that we announce the passing of our little Shelby. Shelby passed away on Sunday, October 9th, 2011 at the Alberta Children's Hospital in Calgary, with her family by her side. Shelby will be forever missed by her Mom Julie, Dad Willy, brother Karsen, and her sister Jacey. Also lovingly remember by aunties and uncles Maria (Marty) Lokos, Carla (Rick) Hansford, Laurie Van Tighem (Darren Fillian), Annette (Noel) Lokos; cousins Wes, Andrew, Bailee and Lane; grandparents Katie and John Gross, aunties and uncles Dave (Sarah) Entz, Margaret (Dave) Kleinsasser, Katie (Paul) Kleinsasser, Debbie (Phillip) Kleinsasser; and many cousins. Shelby was predeceased by her grandparents Albert and Shirley Van Tighem and Joseph Entz. Shelby was born June 2nd, 1998 in Red Deer, Alberta. Shelby was raised in the Bluffton area and attended the Bluffton School, where special memories and friendships were created. Shelby was constantly busy, whether tending to her animals she loved so much or preparing a favourite dish. She had a passion for cooking; we enjoyed many of her special dishes. She was also involved with dance and a member of the softball team. Shelby enjoyed jumping on the tramp, swimming, hanging out with friends and family and spending time at the lake. Shelby was an amazing little person who brought sunshine and joy into our world every day. She had a kind and caring heart, always putting the concerns for others before her own. Shelby has taught us all so much about life and love. We will miss her sweet voice and famous one liners. We are so proud of her courage and strength as she faced each day with grace while battling cancer. We know this world was a better place because she was in it, and we know that heaven will be too. Forever loved and remembered. A Celebration of Shelby's life was held on Saturday, October 15th 2011 at 1:00 pm at the Rimbey Community Centre. Forward condolences through www.hffs.com.
