Shelly Mardelle (Hope) Pierson
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Shelly Mardelle (Hope) Pierson of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, USA. Shelly passed away unexpectedly on December 29, 2009 after surgery to correct her long-term breathing problem.
Shelly was born January 20, 1961 in Kinistino, Saskatchewan, Canada. She lived on a farm with her parents, Grant and Edna Hope, three older brothers and a younger sister near Weldon, Saskatchewan. It was there she developed the qualities for which she was so admired; her resilience, determination, self-control, and care for others. Always an honor student, she was valedictorian at Birch Hills High School where she became engaged to Terry Pierson on graduation night. Shelly and Terry married in 1980 and resided in Birch Hills, Saskatchewan until they moved to Hilo, Hawaii in 1988. In Hilo, their precious sons were born, Bryce in 1989 and Jeremy in 1992. Shelly and Terry established a cabinet manufacturing business in Hilo until they moved to Kona in 2001 at which time Terry became employed with Pacific Source. Shelly’s love and concern for her family and wanting the best education for Bryce and Jeremy led her into homeschooling and serving in leadership with the Kona Christian Home Schooling group. She taught and hosted many group activities at her home where the door was always open. Shelly was on the School Board of Montessori Country School at Pahoa and volunteered at Christian Liberty School in Keaau. Her Aloha spirit, creative and leadership abilities led to her involvement in many charitable projects for people around the world. Her breathing challenges never affected her love and joy of life and total giving to others. Shelly is survived by Terry, her loving husband of 29 years, and their sons, Bryce and Jeremy of Kailua-Kona. Her siblings and their families: Bruce (Cindy) Hope of Kitchener, Ontario; Barry (Carla), Dylan & Lauren Hope of Weldon, Saskatchewan; Gaylene (James), James Jr., Brittany, Jasmine, and Jamal
