HIRAM- Rochelle “Shelley” Marie Gallagher, Age 53, passed away on May 23rd, 2023 at home unexpectedly after what is assumed to be a heart attack. She was born in Massachusetts on May 31st, 1969 and was the daughter of the late Julie and Merrill Harmon.
She married her husband on August 30th,1997.
She worked as an intake specialist at Maine Nephrology until 2022 and after that worked at New England Cancer until she passed.
Shelley enjoyed reading, campfires, lilacs, hair products, the color hot pink, and yellow monarch butterflies because she believed they were family members who passed. She is survived by her husband Daniel Gallagher, and her daughters Kayla “Kay” Gallagher, and Jamie Gallagher all from Hiram.
She also has many family members all over the map who loved her dearly, some who are still around and some that have unfortunately already passed. She had so many people she touched with her loving and nonjudgmental heart.
For anyone wondering how to honor Shelley, love with your whole heart then look for the yellow monarch butterfly and smile knowing she’s watching.
