    Her Story

    [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Our beautiful Shandie Case, 25, as well as her unborn baby boy, whom we believe she was toying with naming Killean but that we all had nicknamed “Turtle Squirt” due to the fact
    that Shandie’s nickname all through growing up was “Turtle”, were both taken from us on November 6, 2016 by a senseless and tragic turn of events that should have never happened.

    Shandie was born September 18, 1991, in Grand Junction to W. Boone Case and DeDee J. Case.

    To list her achievements in life would take nothing short of a novel, as she found no limit to successfully accomplish as much as possible at all times and in everything she did: from being Freshman Class President at GJHS, to being a constant honor roll student who absolutely loved school, to being a lead member of the GJHS Teen Court Team, and which lead to being a member of the Grand Junction’s City Youth Council. The four-way stop light at 24 & G Road is present due to her unwavering demand for people’s safety at that intersection, and was something she was very proud of.

    She attended Denver University, and then Denver Metro for a time. She worked for UPS in Grand Junction, then at their DIA hub, and then returned to Grand Junction to become their Preload Supervisor, while also working for CaseCo, L.L.C., a trucking company started and owned by her parents. She moved on to excelling at both becoming a licensed Realtor in Grand Junction under Toni Heiden and Heiden Homes Realty for selling and property management, as well as, for her own investment properties.

    Moving back to Denver, she then owned and operated her own Farmers Insurance agency; it was also something she was very
    proud of.

    She and her fiancé moved back to our area where they were still investing and managing their own investment properties, while starting a new freighting company, and anxiously awaiting the arrival of their baby whom hadn’t been confirmed to be a boy, but we all just knew in our hearts he was….and he was!

    Beyond all of her achievements, she had the biggest heart, and a joy coupled with laughter that was so contagious, everyone couldn’t help but love to be in her presence. Shandie knew no stranger, as her joy of life carried her from day to day. From family, to friends, to business associates, to just mere acquaintances, she touched us all, and will forever hold a special place in each of our hearts.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-links-header”]

    Her Story

    [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-story”]Bethany Ann Israel (Ball), born on September 11, 1993, in Minneapolis to Mark Edward Ball and Judy Ann Ball, touched the lives of many with her radiant spirit and unwavering kindness. Her journey took her from Texas to Rosemount, Minnesota, where she left an incredible mark on the community.

    Bethany attended First Baptist in Rosemount, where she excelled both on the basketball court and in the volleyball arena. Her love for music led her to play the flute, and she reveled in being the “favorite child.” As a young girl, she even pretended to teach her toys, foreshadowing her future as an educator.

    Bethany’s passion for teaching led her to Hyles-Anderson College and later to Maranatha Baptist University, where she pursued her master’s in teaching. She dedicated herself to shaping young minds, leaving an impact at First Baptist and later as a bookkeeper at Pioneer Industries International. When the pandemic struck, she chose to work alongside her sister, embracing her role as a bookkeeper and saleswoman.

    Bethany’s love for volleyball extended beyond the classroom. She coached at the Hammerhead club and, most recently, at Breck High School. Her presence on the court was nothing short of angelic—always smiling, encouraging her teammates, and striving for excellence. Bethany’s kindness and compassion touched everyone she encountered.

    At an Apple Valley volleyball open gym, Bethany met Josh. Initially hesitant, she eventually said yes to his persistent pursuit. Their love blossomed, and they eloped in Jamaica during the height of the pandemic on April 30, 2021. Their joy multiplied when they discovered they were expecting their first child, Levy.

    Bethany and Josh shared a love for travel, escaping the cold Minnesota winters to explore Jamaica and Mexico. Volleyball remained a constant in their lives, and they reveled in card games, board games, and dancing—even if Bethany believed she wasn’t particularly skilled at it.

    Bethany embodied love in every sense. She never spoke negatively, always sought to help others, and wore a perpetual smile. Her light touched the kids she coached, the friends she played with, and even the newcomers she welcomed onto the court. Bethany will forever be remembered as a beacon of kindness, compassion, and unwavering love.

    In her memory, let us celebrate a life well-lived—a life that continues to inspire us all.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-links-header”]
