SHELLEY SASLEY
She is predeceased by her parents, Ida and Saul Shilkowski, and her husband Ken Sasley. She is survived by her children, Brent (Yael), Elana (Jeff), Samantha (Stephanie) and grandchildren, Arielle, Samara, Shai, Sydney and Lexi.
Shelley was born in Samerkant in the former Soviet Union on July 30, 1945, and immigrated to Canada with her parents at the age of two. She grew up in a loving home with her sister Faye and brothers, Joey and Jerry. As the oldest child, she always took care of her siblings and looked out for them. Her parents instilled in her a set of values and a strong sense of what is right and good, which she lived her life by and raised her own family with. Shelley attended Peretz School and St. John's, where she made lifelong friends whom she remained close with despite their physical distance.
She and Ken met while both worked at Imperial Leather. They quickly realized that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. Shelley and Ken bought a house in the north end of Winnipeg and raised their children there. They shared 39 and a half wonderful years of marriage.
Shelley was a doting mother and babi, spending as much time as possible with each and every child and grandchild. She was always encouraging and supportive of them, and proud of their accomplishments.
Shelley will always be remembered for her sincere kindness, generosity, quiet strength and selflessness. Her unconditional love was a genuine gift to us all. There is a large void in our lives without her, and she will forever be in our hearts.

I have just read about the passing of my long-time friend, Shelley, and it had saddened me to the core. We had met in Grade One, at Peretz Folk School, which was then located on Aberdeen Avenue, near Salter Street. We only lived a 1/2 block apart, and I was over at her house and played with her and her siblings on more occasions than I could remember. That's what kids did then, we played on the street and the entire neighbourhood was invited into our games. Over the years, we ran into each other on many many occasions, and our kids went to school together and it was as though time stood still. We met, we talked and we reminisced as to our families, and always, always, the good old days and what happened to everyone since we last spoke. Her smile and demeanour, was infecting and always left me with a better feeling than before we spoke. She had numerous problems during her life, but when she spoke, they seemed trivial, since she was always asking about the problems and conditions of others. I will never forget this lovely person, and can only hope that some of her goodliness and simplicity to life, has rubbed off on me; so in turn I can pass some of that unto my own grandchildren, to follow. God Bless You My Dear Friend and finally give you - Peace. - Posted by: Harry Rosenbaum (Friend) on: Jun 07, 2019

I am truly saddened to read that Shelley has passed away. There are not many people in the world of whom only good things can be said. When we were at St. John's. Tec I remember the fact that everyone (classmates as well as teachers) spoke highly of Shelley. The praise was well deserved: she was sweet and honest, with an infectious smile, a good sense of humour and most of all she always made a person feel valuable. My heartfelt condolences to all those she has left behind. It goes without saying she will not be forgotten. - Posted by: MariLynn Steiman (Old friend) on: Jun 03, 2019
