Born in Philadelphia, she was the daughter of Glenn and Denise (Schmitt) Mertz.

Shelly loved her cats, especially Binx, who was her whole pride and joy. She was very laid back, enjoying time spent with family, and her “little people”. She was also selfless, donating to the Gift of Life after her passing.

Surviving in addition to her husband Greg and parents, are two brothers: Jason Mertz, husband of Gina and Brett Mertz, husband of Amber; two step-children: Fae Shrack, wife of Anthony, and Greg Dietz, husband of Shannon; three nephews: Aiden Mertz, Caderyn Mertz, and Elias Mertz; three grandchildren: Brooke Dietz, A.J. Shrack, and Will Shrack; Grandmother Janice Schmitt.

Services will be private and at the convenience of the family.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Gift of Life Donor Program, 401 N. 3rd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19123, in Shelly’s memory.
