Shelley Stamp

WATERBURY - Shelley Kathleen Stamp, age 34, entered into eternal peace on October 29, 2022.
She was the beloved daughter of Kathy Daversa and the late Kevin Stamp.

Shelley was born on February 10, 1988, in Waterbury. Shelley graduated Rotella Elementary School, Wallace Middle School, and Crosby High School. She attained her associate degree from Naugatuck Valley Community College and attended both Central Connecticut State University and Bridgeport University. At the time of her tragic passing, she was employed as a paraprofessional for Waterbury Public Schools working with children with special needs. She also had several waitressing jobs in the Greater Waterbury area, always entertaining her customers with her stories. To know Shelley is to love her! She had a heart of gold. She certainly had the gift of gab and was taken from us all too soon. Her life was a blessing, her memory a treasure. She was loved beyond words and will missed beyond measure.

Besides her heartbroken mom, Shelley leaves behind her devoted sister and brother-in-law, Laura and Sam Tajildeen of Watertown, her stepfather, John Daversa and his children; Michael and Danielle. The highlight of her life were her nieces, Mia and Ava Tajildeen, whom she loved with all her heart. She was the granddaughter of Mary Joan Pettinicchi and the late Joseph Pettinicchi, and Leroy and Helen Stamp. Left to honor Shell’s legacy and cherish her memory are her cousins; Diana Veillette (Rob) and Eric Acosta (Sarah) who were like siblings to her and their children; Lia Santana, Olivia and Lilliana Veillette, Noah, and Zachary Francisco. She is also remembered by her aunt and uncles, Brenda Pettincchi, Brian Stamp, Michael Stamp, and half-sister, Erica Stamp. She was predeceased by her aunt Helen Stamp (Matt). She will be missed by her best friend, Melissa Richter (Matt) and their children Joshua and Gavin, whom she loved as family.
