Shelly Ann Monteleone

Shelly (Roberts) Monteleone, 67, passed away peacefully on Jan. 8, 2025 surrounded by her family. Shelly was the daughter of Joseph ‘Joe’ Roberts and Martha Ann (Branscom). She spent her childhood in Thermopolis, Wyoming graduating from Hot Springs County High School in 1975

Shelly was a thoughtful, kind, and compassionate person who was committed to helping others. Shelly’s impact on the lives she touched will be lasting and inspirational. Her most cherished role was being a dedicated mother to her son, Christopher ‘Chris’ Boyce.

After raising her son, she fulfilled a long held dream of earning her degree in Social Sciences at Montana State University-Great Falls College of Technology. This provided her with an outlet for her empathy, patience, and commitment to assisting others as a care coordinator. Through her professional career, she was able to make a positive impact on the lives of many people in both Thermopolis and Casper until her retirement in 2019.

When not taking care of others, Shelly enjoyed traveling and spending time with friends and family. She traveled extensively experiencing different cultures, music and exploring new destinations. One of her most cherished memories was a family trip to Cancun and Playa del Carmen.

Shelly was a selfless and amazing mother, daughter, and sister. She will be greatly missed by her son, Chris; sister, Norma (Marty) Smith; brother-in-law Dennis McMillan; numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.

Shelly is proceeded in death by her parents; sister, Jeanne McMillan; brothers, Johnny, Joseph David ‘JD’, and Jerry.

A ceremony honoring Shelly will be held at a later date.
