Shelley Kathleen Parsons, 57, of La Crosse, WI, danced her way into the heavenly salon on January 1, 2024. Born on May 3, 1966, in San Diego, CA, Shelley was a true beam of sunshine on even the cloudiest days. With her caring nature and artistic flair, she was always ready to lend a helping hand and make you feel like a million bucks. Shelley’s love for nails was no joke; she could polish off any design with finesse.

When she wasn’t busy dazzling everyone with her nail artistry, Shelley loved hanging out with her friends and exploring her artsy side. She was a master of creativity, always finding new ways to bring color and joy into the world.

Shelley leaves behind a trail of love and cherished memories. She is survived by her devoted brother, Steven Parsons, her uncle Jim Irwin, aunt Pat Irwin, cousin Darren Irwin, nephew Cody Landry, cousin Collette Moffett, and her partner-in-crime, fiancé Darrell King. Let’s not forget her stepsons, Darrell King Jr. and Dion King, who were lucky enough to experience her love and kindness. Shelley also had a long list of friends who will forever miss her vibrant presence.

She was preceded in her journey by her beloved mother, Jean Landry, her grandparents, Ken and Helen Irwin, and her dear friends Cynthia Thomas and Carol Gray. They’ll be waiting with open arms to welcome her to the other side.

In her career, Shelley worked her magic as a nail technician at Lord and Lady Salon, leaving customers in awe of her talent. She also rocked the customer service world at Teleperformance, always going above and beyond to make people smile.

The fabulous team at Coulee Region Cremation Group in Onalaska, WI, is honored to assist Shelley’s family in creating a farewell fit for a queen.

To honor Shelley’s vibrant spirit, a celebration of her life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to be made in Shelley’s memory to a charity that speaks to your heart.

As we bid adieu to our glittering friend, let us remember Shelley Kathleen Parsons with laughter and joy. May her memory forever inspire us to embrace our inner sparkle and live life to the fullest.

“Shelley, you’ve left an indelible mark on our hearts. We’ll keep shining, knowing you’re watching over us with your fabulous nail game in heaven. Rest in polish-perfect peace!”
