I’m sure I was trying to be serious and she was making me crack up lol

Always the sweetest hugs and that beautiful smile 💖

I’m so greatful my kids had an aunt like you! You loved them like your own💕 

I remember that her favorite color was green! Which means she was independent, strong, creative and loved money$! She was one of the sweetest people I had the very little bit of time of knowing and she will be missed by all who met her I am sure! 

Students and staff at Old Town Barber College want to extend our heartfelt condolence to our student, classmate, and Shanlie's brother, Vince.  We have their family in our thoughts as well.  Shanlie will live forever in your memories. God bless.

i’m grateful to have known you Shanlie, and i’m even more grateful for all the memories i have with you to cherish. until we meet again 🦋

A bright light cannot be replaced as unique and sweet as our Shanlie. Precious beyond words in so many ways and loved so very much by her family and friends. I will cherish the many memories of so many fun, silly family times together. My prayers are with you all Goodrich family as you are ever so close to my heart and very dear to me. Love and hugs. Please reach out when you are able.

Thank you all for all the post and pictures. It’s wonderful to see and hear from all those whose lives she touched. Our hearts are filled with gratitude. 

When we first met, I remember the glow and warmth that came off of her when she smiled at me, nothing compares. She loved Christmas and Valentine’s Day, and always made the holidays feel so special. She loved when we would have deep talks. She always talked about how god had a plan for her and is the reason her life was so good.  She connected with so many nursing home residents in their last days and it always hurt her when they left this world. We shared the same birthdays. She always took care of me when I was sick. We shared so many experiences that I can’t even put in to words. She couldn’t say Goodbye or hang up the phone without saying I love you, I just wish I could’ve told you one last time, but I will in heaven, I know I will. I love you shanlie smiley, Rest In Peace behind those pearly gates. 

Shanlie and I had clinicals together at the Via Christi clinic on Murdock. 

This is the "hot" doctor we watched for a day. 

you were a huge part of my life for a long time. i remember when we first met we instantly were stuck like glue. we did everything together. when you called me and told me you got into nursing school i think i was more excited than you lol… I’m so sorry this happened to you love. you were such a genuine soul and lit up every room you walked into. I love you more than what my mortal tongue can speak. you will be missed dearly. Rest easy Love 💜

Hello!
My name is Kulsumbai M Kapacee. I was her faculty at WSUTech in our nursing program. Shanley will always be remembered as a happy go lucky young lady, who took great care in looking good but also her genuine smile. She was vibrant and loved life to the fullest. I will sincerely miss her and pray that this little note will help the loved once to know that she was truly appreciated both as a student as well as a lady who wanted to do well but also enjoy life.
With deepest and heartfelt prayers to the family and friends.
Ume Kulsum.

We had such a great time with Shanlie the Christmas she came to our house . She had a special way of making you smile just by being in the room as you.               
 The song that has God took another Angel home definitely fits Shanlie .

We thought we were the cutest and no one will understand the bonds we had .

My condolences to the family. I know this time is hard, but GOD makes no mistakes… he needed her with him. 🙏🏾

My condolences to the family. I went to nursing school and clinicals with Shanlie and she was always such a happy, sweet, kind, and caring person to be around. She truly was a gem to us.

Shanlie was one of my most memorable students at TLC in Valley Center. Her kindness and smile will be with me forever. When I visited with her at New Spring earlier this year she was so excited about her nursing career. 
I know she is in the arms of Jesus now. Shanlie, you will be missed.  Mr. Speer

Shanlie was my big sister who alway had my back and supported me in playing basketball.when I was coming back from an injury she would be mad and be like why they didn’t put my lil sister in? And then tell me I got the next one and to keep working and checking if I ate. (Sis could cook y’all) and I’m a picky eater. We would have loud jam sessions in the car to kelani and if any body was mean to me she had my back. Shanlie helped me through a lot when I was in high school and was going through so much, she never failed to make me laugh till it was hard to breathe. When I first met shanlie she stay the night at our house and never left she became a sister , a friend and part of the family. She gave us a sweet lil nephew CJ and tons of memories. She gave me an example of a sweet , kind and caring mother. She took care of Cj so good she had me second guess my own parents parenting. She showed me no matter what happens you can always get to your goals even as young mother. Shanlie always smiled even when she was annoyed with things , I use to look and be like how did she just do that. Shanlie had patience with people but never let people punk her. She knew the balance between what’s up and I got you. Shanlie use to pick me up early from school when I didn’t wanna be there and hang with me for the day. I could literally talk about shanlie for hours about every memory and thing she did for me. I will always love Shanlie 💔and I’ll  everyone I ever meet know how much you mean to me  and how you help me be where I am today. SHANLIE MY BIG SISTER ❤️ MY SWEET LADYBUG 🐞  Till I see you again my love💔
