Shelley's obituary
**Shelley Jean Stewart**
*March 22, 1965 – January 24, 2026*
Shelley Jean Stewart, 60, of Kennesaw, Georgia, passed away on January 24, 2026. Born in Brockton, Massachusetts, Shelley carried her Boston roots — and unmistakable Boston accent — with pride, bringing warmth and humor wherever she went.
A devoted mother, grandmother, and caregiver, Shelley spent her life helping others. She cared for elderly and disabled adults with compassion and dignity, and was deeply devoted to her daughters, Eryn and Colleen Barry, and her granddaughter, Addison Higgins — her greatest joy.
Shelley had a lifelong love for animals, rescuing cats and caring for her beloved horses. She was always ready with support, advice, or a comforting word — for people and animals alike.
She is survived by her daughters, Eryn and Colleen; granddaughter, Addison; and brothers, Ryan and Roy Cordaro. She was preceded in death by her mother, Paula Cordaro; Aunt Janet Dundon; brothers, Neil and Brent Cordaro; and sister, Kory Cordaro.
Shelley will be remembered for her fierce loyalty, her generous heart, and the deep love she gave.
