Michele E. Sebree

With sincere reverence, we commemorate Michele Elizabeth “Shelly” (Reynolds) Sebree of Romulus, New York, whose life came to an end on June 6, 2024, at the age of 57, leaving behind treasured memories.

A Memorial Service will be held privately by her family.

Shelly was born in Ithaca, New York, on March 22, 1967, a daughter of the late Carl and Elinor (nee Percy) Reynolds. She was a proud graduate of Romulus Central School’s Class of 1985. Shelly could often be found drinking her coffee over a puzzle and spending time gardening, taking special care of her cherished roses. She enjoyed thrift shopping and crafting, and loved animals, especially her beloved cat, Ralphie, whom she leaves behind. Shelly’s infectious laugh could be recognized by anyone who knew her, and whenever possible, she was the life of any party. She had a creative, free spirit and lived her life by her own rules. Shelly’s greatest pride and joy, however, was being “Mommy” and “Grammie.”

Shelly is survived by her daughter, Jacqueline (nee Jensen) (Christopher) Wickham; two granddaughters; brother, Carl (Shannon) Reynolds II; five siblings; and an uncle, Fred Percy.
