Shelley Dudley, 56, of Clovis, New Mexico, passed away on December 24th, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.
Born on November 10, 1969, in Edwards Air Force Base, California, she lived with a lively spirit, a love for her dogs, and a heart drawn to music and the freedom of the open road. Riding motorcycles, sharing laughter, and savoring life's small joys were some of the things that made her feel most alive.
She had a vibrant spirit and a love for life's simple pleasures. She faced many challenges, yet she carried on with determination and grace. She will be remembered for her resilience, her energy, and the joy she found in the things she loved.
Shelley is preceded in death by her father, John Mares of Clovis, New Mexico.
She is survived by her mother, Ester Mares; her brothers, Fred Mares, Johnny Mares and Anthony Mares; her daughters, Meagan (Josh) Romero and Celeste Southerland; her sons, Wesley Flores and Travis (Bree) Ralph; and her grandchildren, Kyler, Embrie, Nolan, Jared, Brayden, Lacie'Anne, Emma, and Kynlee.
"She rode through life with the wind at her back, a wild heart steady and strong. Now the road rises to meet her again, where the sky is wide and the journey rolls on"
