Shelley was born on February 6, 1949 in the San Fernando Valley of California.
She was the first of two children born to Sarah (nee Gorelick) and Edward Gross. Shelley has been a resident of Las Vegas since 1981. She is survived by her only child Erika Solomon, her only grandchild Sarah Solomon and her younger sister Rickie Roark. Shelley was a homemaker and friend to many. Her true passion in life was travelling, watching her favorite movie Gigi and her love of dogs. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to the Las Vegas Cocker Spaniel Rescue at www.lvcr.org.
