Shelly Ann Price (nee Culbert) July 11, 1962- June 26, 2021
Bluewater Beach, Cambridge and Goderich
It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of Shelly, wonderful wife, daughter and friend.
Survived by her loving husband Steven Price, her parents Norm and Elaine Culbert (Mitchell) and her cousin Rob Dunne.
Shelly was known to have many endeavours and passions, including the company she created New Leaf HR Consulting. Her knowledge and professionalism made lasting impressions with her clients and those she made contact with.
Her love for the cottage “Caso de Campo”, collecting beach glass and enlisting anyone who came to stay and find more to add to her collection. And saying “you are leaving those aren’t you!”. She so enjoyed sunsets over Lake Huron and posting her sunset pictures so we could all enjoy the beauty and peace she felt. So many beautiful memories were created at “Casa de Campo”, campfires, beach time with her many friends and some memorable girls weekends. She had a great passion for it all.
Shelly’s ability to make deep lasting friendships and connections was admirable and we all benefited from knowing her. You will not be forgotten.
Her biggest love was for her husband Steve and their Havanese Tanner. They enjoyed many sunsets together. They will miss her terribly.
In the honor and spirit of Shelly a small private gathering will be held at The White Squirrel Golf Club.
Shelly’s family would like to thank the Oncology Team at Victoria Hospital, London for their care.
In lieu of flowers donations to the SPCA would be appreciated.

Hi Shelly, I felt my heart broken again when I read the Coach’s email. I had thought that I would have a lot of chance to thank you for all your help. When I told you that I had to visit my father who was very sick at the time, you promised that you would arrange all the thing well for me, so I didn’t need worry anything and headed for China two days later. I am sad that I would never have a chance to say “thank you face to face for all your support and help” again.

I had the privilege of working with Shelly and getting to know her over the last two years; we connected daily which usually involved some friendly banter and a few jokes. We greeted each other with a friendly “Ola!” which then took us down the rabbit hole of HR items that we needed to address.
Shelly was my friend and someone that I could trust; she was a top tier HR Manager and I could always count on her.
Shelly was a grateful person and enjoyed time with her family; she was looking forward to semi-retirement at the cottage with Steve. Shelly I can’t believe you are not with us anymore but I am glad I got to know you. You will truly be missed.

I was shocked and sadden at the loss of such a wonderful lady. Shelly was a pivotal member of our Canntx family and will be greatly missed. She was a fire cracker and loved to talk to each and every member of our team, she was not afraid to get her hands dirty and help out when needed. Her cheers for their success, her support and genuine care for their well being was clearly evident. Shelly loved to show off pictures of Tanner, and tell stories of his adventures. I learned a lot from Shelly over the past couple of years and will truly miss her guidance. My condolences to Steve, Tanner and Shelly’s entire family. May your memories shine as brightly as Shelly’s beloved sunsets. Rest in peace my friend.

My deepest condolences, Shelly was such an amazing woman. We worked together for years, I learned so much from her and loved working with her. She made everything we did fun and the laughs we shared will stay with me always.

My thoughts are with you Steve and Shelly’s family.
I will always cherish memories of my neighbour Shelly who I’ve had the pleasure of knowing my whole life. The best part of every Halloween when I was a kid was going over to Shelly and Steve’s. They always spoiled me with treats and of course Shelly had lots of tricks in her clown costume. The backyard BBQs were a highlight of the summer, bringing the neighbourhood together for many good times. From jumping in leaf piles to basement parties, I am very grateful for the laughter that we shared. Shelly you will be missed.
Erik Landry
You will always be in our hearts, Shelly. Peace eternal.

Shelly was a great coworker from whom I learned a lot. I always appreciated her guidance. But she was an even greater friend. She invited me many times to participate in local cultural events, which we enjoyed together. I have also been a guest at her house and she always made it special. Her sense of humour was exceptional; she made me laugh so many times. I will never forget you, Shelly!
Diane James
We are very sorry to hear of Shelly’s passing. We have so many wonderful memories of the great times we shared in the Cambridge neighbourhood with Shelly and Steve. As well as Shelly’s love for animals, she also had a special affection for all the children she came in contact with, including our daughter Alexa. Our hearts go out to Steve, Shelly’s parents, Rob, and Tanner. She will be missed.

Was broken hearted to hear of Shelly. Brings back memories that have made me laugh forever. She was an amazing person and will be missed by many. Thank you and fly my friend.
Love and prayers to all she touched.
Clark and Chris Williams
It is with such a sad heart that we send Steve, Shelly’s parents, her cousin Rob and of course Tanner our condolences. We hope all the beautiful words her friends have shared bring you some comfort. Shelly was one of a kind in so many ways. Her genuine care for others glowed all around her. She opened her world to us and allowed us to share in her energy and love of the life she and Steve created. We will miss being a part of her world and hope that we can all learn from Shelly to live for the moment.
Rand and Patty McIntyre
Steve and family,
Words are hard to come by in expressing our heartfelt sorrow at this time. More than our favorite neighbour for the past 30 years, Shelly was a kind and caring friend and always the life of the party. She had a wonderful sense of humour, zest for life and unabashed love for her pet pals past and present including Bonkers, Sass and wee Tanner. Most of all, her love for “Uncle” Steve was truly admirable and everlasting. R.I.P. good friend and neighbour,

I have worked with Shelly for 11 years. We have shared jokes, laughed, complained, bickered and worked through many work and life issues. Shelly , I have learned from you, I have grown professionally and personally by knowing you. You have touched my life and I will miss the beach photos not for the beach, but because you loved to share your joy. We shared many lunches and dinners and they were not enough. I will always imagine you with smile and will miss your laugh. Very sorry for your loss Steven and Tanner and Shelly’s parents. I wish you strength.

Although we hadn’t seen each other in way too long, you and my brother have always been in my thoughts and heart. There’s truly no words to express the sadness I feel for my brother and Shellys family. I can say that through her loving nature and giving spirit she made my brother happy beyond words. You will always be part of our lives through stories from over the years. Heaven has called you too soon. Be in peace until we all meet again.
I will, with great pleasure, honour you with a donation to an animal rescue.🙏🏻

Rest in peace Shelly, and enjoy your beautiful sunsets in eternity. My deepest condolences to Steve, your Mom and Dad, and your cousin Rob. And cuddles for Tanner.

To Shelly’s family. We are truly sorry Shelly was taken so soon. To her greatest loves, Steve, Tanner, her parents and her super bestie Barb, my heart breaks into a million pieces of beach glass for you all.
Shelly reconnected with me (Goderich school friend) about 6 years ago and I’m so glad to have had that opportunity. We met at Albion many times for Wing night, The White Squirrel, Fine restaurant in Grandbend for a cancer fundraiser, Beach street Station, and Volkfests in Bayfield. Every time we met, Shelly made everyone in her presence feel important.
Shelly was larger than life, loving every person she met, and she had the ability to reconnect with so many old school friends. We are all better people because of knowing Shelly. I will never forget you, and never forget how you made me feel. ❤️

I am still in so much shock. My heart breaks for Steve, Tanner, her parents, family and all of her lovely friends. Shelly was truly one of a kind. She had such a zest for life. I have so many memories with her that I will cherish forever.
In 2010 Shelly was my boss at my very first “real job”. We quickly found out how much we had in common including joking around and being silly. We always said we should have had our own TV show. With her mentoring, I came a long way in the HR world and would not be where I am today without her. I am forever grateful to her for that. I stayed at a company I was not happy to work for because of her. We had the best time working together. After we parted ways in our jobs we stayed very close friends. Besides friend conversations we would also chat about the HR world and share resources.
Shelly I already miss you terribly and I know the same can be said for your family and many many friends. I love you and hope you enjoy the beautiful sunsets in heaven and that you have all the sea glass you could ever imagine. Maybe you could even check in on Rod Stewart sometimes – we all know you would like that!
Rest Easy my friend- you will be forever missed.
Kathy Daley

Elaine and Norm, my condolences in your loss. May the memories of Shelly help you get through this difficult time.

Bill and Karen Downing
Our hearts are saddened by the passing of Shelly. She is one of those special people that only comes along once in a lifetime. She had a heart of gold and she brought smiles to the faces of everyone who saw her. Her “joie de vivre” was indescribable. We would sit around in Bill’s workshop and with her imagination we all believed we were sharing a meal in the vineyards of Tuscany.
She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Our deepest sympathy to Steve and the rest of her family.

My condolences to Shelly’s family and husband Steve. She was a beautiful soul who could always make you laugh. She will be missed but not forgotten.

Shelly, your beautiful spirit, kind heart and love for animals and people alike, will always be remembered. Although I can’t imagine the world without you in it, I know absolutely that you have touched the hearts of everyone who crossed your path in life. I have many fun memories of times spent with you in Cambridge and in Bayfield but I wanted to also share your heart with others. My daughter and I lost our beautiful cat, Sara back in May of 2020 but had spent thousands of dollars in our attempts to try and save her. Shelly called me out of the blue from her cottage in Bayfield to offer her condolences and also to offer help in paying all those Vet bills! I was in tears by her compassion and her kindness during that time and although I could not accept her financial offer, I am still overwhelmed to this day by her incredible kind heart and generous spirit. Shelly was one of a kind and will be missed by so many ☹ Our hearts are broken but we are so much better to have known you. RIP Shelly, you are with the angels, watching all the beautiful sunsets and watching over your loved ones. Deepest sympathies to Steve, Tanner and her family.
In your memory, I have donated to Inguoya Rehoming and Rehabilitation dog rescue in Niagara region.
