HOOD: Shelley Lynn Hood (Lewis) passed away November 6, 2017 after a courageous battle against cancer with her family by her side. Shelley was born July 24, 1967 in Regina, SK. Shelley’s father was a bank manager and the family moved numerous times before ending up in Carberry in 1982. She played ringette and baseball and attended Carberry Collegiate where she met her future husband Mark. After graduation, she took drafting at ACC and lived in Saskatoon and Alberta for a little while. Shelley was diagnosed with MS and moved back to Carberry to live with her mother Muriel. She reconnected with Mark and they married in 1997. She loved birds and had two cockatoos as pets. She enjoyed photography and hockey. Shelley loved to travel and she and Mark were fortunate to be able to go to several southern countries. The further south the better as Shelley loved the heat. Shelley also enjoyed playing pool and going to pool nights and tournaments with Mark and friends. She also enjoyed cheering on her beloved Saskatchewan Roughriders. Shelley was diagnosed with cancer in June of 2016. She shared her experiences through Facebook and developed a large following of friends who walked with her on her journey. It gave her great comfort and kept her spirits up having this support. A private family service was held on November 25 with Father Mark Filips officiating. Shelley leaves to mourn her husband Mark, mother Muriel, brother Randy and sister-in-law Kathi as well as other family and friends. If anybody desires, donations can be made to CancerCare MB or the MS Society.
