Shelly: Kihei, HI, U.S. Outlying Islands; I was born in the 50's in Bakersfield, California, the third child and third daughter to a family of seven children. We moved to Shell Beach when I was very young and finally settled in Santa Maria, California which I proudly call home. Maui is where I have lived for 31 years. My mother raised us to love music and art, my dad taught me how to be nice. I married young and even though the marriage didn't stand the test of time, I was blessed with two sons. I purposely gave them Biblical names, Gabriel and Jacob, as a reminder to them of their Creator. On Oct. 30, 2009, I officially retired from the Postal Service, a job I had been doing for the past 27 years. This was not my "dream" job when I started so many years ago but the Postal Service gave me the means to raise my two sons, move to Maui and eventually marry my second husband of 30 years. My husband is my best friend and is also my biggest supporter and fan. We are extreme opposites when it comes to our personalities but we have had an amazing life together and I am looking forward to our future as an old married couple.
