Dear FFCA Community,
It is with great sadness and regret that I write to share with you the sudden passing of one of FFCA’s greatest advocates and supporters, Shelley Schroh. Shelley served on the Board of Directors for eleven years in a variety of roles including one year as Board Chair. Incredibly, in that time, Shelley did not miss a single meeting, and continued to attend every public meeting after retiring from the Board in January 2019.
Cindy McGlashan-Beaucage, former Board Chair who served alongside Shelley for nine years, had the following to share about her friend and colleague: “Shelley’s passion, dedication, and love for FFCA inspired all of us on and around the Board. Her tireless commitment came from her absolute belief in our students and staff. Shelley was a force that made us stronger; one we will never forget.”
Her passion for FFCA was only surpassed by her passion for her family. Shelley is survived by her husband Pat and their four sons, two remain students at FFCA, one is a student at SAIT, one serves with the RCMP.
The family has provided the following information:
“A celebration of life for Shelley will be held on Saturday, December 14, at 1:00 PM, at Foundations for the Future (FFCA) Middle School campus, located at 8710 Ancourt Rd SE.
As you know Shelley loved purple, and it would be wonderful to see you wearing purple.
In lieu of flowers, and if family and friends desire, contributions can be made to the MS Society or to some other charity of choice.”
Respectfully,
Jeff Wilson,
FFCA Board Chair
