Shelley Joyce Vickery was everybody’s Sunshine girl. She died on April 25, 2025, from complications of Interstitial Lung Disease. During those last days in the ICU, she was surrounded by family and friends who were blessed to consider themselves her nearest and dearest. Shelley is predeceased by her beloved brother, Stephen Hunter Joyce, and stepfather, Stephen Anthony Joyce, whom we pray were waiting for her the moment she took her final breath. She is survived by her mother, Jan Rains; David Trimble, her partner and love of her life; her son, Conner Vickery, his partner, Taylor, and their two beautiful children, Marley and Ripley; her daughter, Cameron Vickery; her sister-in-law, Dina Cioffre; her godparents, Bob and Josie Sullivan; and many foster children. Shelley knew the importance of having the unconditional love of a parent and treasured all of her children and grandchildren, whether by blood or by love. She adored her family and wanted nothing more than to be surrounded by them all at the end. Shelley was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and lived in Dallas, Texas; the Florida Keys; Woodland Park; and Denver, Colorado. Shelley didn’t know any way to love other than with her whole heart. She always gave people grace and met them wherever they were in their lives. With her family, friends, or even strangers, she loved unconditionally—and held a space for everyone to become better people. With Shelley’s love and compassion, people usually did exactly that… becoming the best versions of themselves. By far, Shelley’s greatest gift was her ability to love. No matter who she was with, she made them feel like they were the most special person in the world for the time they were together. We were so lucky. We were all so blessed to know her… and to love her. We don’t know why she was taken so early. Maybe God needed another angel up there to help wrangle teenagers—who knows. There will be a Celebration of Life service in Dallas at a future date. Details will be forthcoming. We miss you, Shelley… and we will love you forever.
