Shelly Marie (Miller) Henricksen
February 28, 1972 - February 6, 2025
Shelly was born February 28, 1972, and passed away February 6, 2025 at the age of 52, after a short battle with a rare brain tumor. (Glioblastoma)
She graduated from Eatonville High School in 1990. After high school Shelly worked as a dental assistant for many years.
In 1995, Shelly married her high school sweetheart Mike Henricksen and they shared 30 wonderful years together.
In 1998 something very special happened- they were blessed with a beautiful set of twin boys, Jacob and Jared. From that moment on the boys became their greatest joy.
Shelly loved life to the fullest, always putting family and friend’s first. She loved any and all activities, as long as they included Mike and the boys.
As a family they enjoyed skiing, snowboarding, hunting, fishing and traveling together, creating memories that will be cherished forever.
Shelly’s world only grew greater once she became a grandma (Grammy). Her grandson Rylen had her wrapped around his finger since the day he was born. Shelly spent every spare second she had spoiling and loving on him. She loved taking him on gator rides to see the cows, and just exploring the farm together. The two of them were inseparable.
Each sunny day reminds us of “our Shelly”- she brought so much joy and light to our lives. Her grandmother always said “Shelly has the personality that could take her to the moon and back”.
Shelly is survived by her loving husband, Mike, her beloved sons, Jacob, Jared (wife Taylor), who she loved like a daughter, and her precious grandson Rylen, who stole her heart from the second he was born. She is also survived by her parents, Fred and Susan Miller, as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews, all of whom she adored and cherished deeply.
Shelly was welcomed into heaven by her brother, Terry Miller, her grandparents, Al and Fran Miller, and Stanley and Bernice Sjoblom.
“It’s not the years we spend on earth but the love we share while we are here.”
So that our broken hearts have time to adjust to life without Shelly, a celebration of her life will be held at a later date. We especially want to thank all of the people who have sent Flowers, Cards, and provided amazing meals everyday so that we could spend all our time caring for Shelly.
We are beyond grateful to everyone for your Love and support. The Henricksen & Miller Families
