Paulette Kathleen Shockney – July 21, 2022

Paulette Kathleen Shockney, 47, passed away on July 21, 2022.  She was a lifelong resident of Colorado Springs, Colorado.  She was a loving and compassionate mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, cousin, friend and anchor to her family and to all.

Paulette was fond of wildlife, nature, and the Colorado mountains.  She enjoyed travelling to the mountains and capturing its beauty with her photography.  She was so talented with her thousands of photographs of nature, wildlife, the moon, planets and beautiful sunsets and sunrises.  Her photographs really should have been on display and were quite underrated and undiscovered.

Paulette touched the lives of so, so many people, friends and family.  Her selflessness and ability to personalize her loving thoughts and actions towards others will never be forgotten.  Her beautiful smile would brighten and enlighten all.  She will be missed dearly.  We are all blessed to have had the opportunity to have known her and to have been touched by her love and compassion.
