Shelley Jacobsen Gonzales

Shelly Marie Jacobsen Gonzales January 18, 1958 – July 21, 2018

Shelly, age 60, was called home to her Heavenly Father.  Her parents, Lamar and Evelyn Jacobsen, were there to greet her with open arms.  She was born in Alhambra, California.  She moved to Utah in her late 20’s.  She was an amazing woman, a loving wife and mother who worked hard while raising her children.  She married Carlos Gonzales in 1999.  Their love for one another was great and though she leaves him here it always will be.  She also leaves behind her amazing children Troy (Stacie) Elsner, Jason (Charity Fritzy) Elsner, Rachel Marie Elsner and her stepson Micheal James Butterfield, and her 4 sisters Terri, Vicki, Valerie, and Tracey, and her Brother Wesley.  She was a truly adoring grandmother to Brody and Isabell Fritzy, Makenzy (Sissy), Gatlin, Hayden and Dillanger Bowen, Jessica Marshall, Tyler and Justice Hardy and baby Chandler Jaycee Shelley Elsner.    She was a light in our lives that we will always carry until we meet again.  We love you Mom.
