Shelly Sue Masloski, age 60, passed away peacefully with her family at her side on Sunday, November 30, 2025 at her residence in Hayward, WI. She was born on June 8, 1965 in Madison, WI, the daughter of Ryland “Riley” and Judith (Mergen) Reynolds. She was united in marriage to Gary Michael Masloski on March 9, 1985 in Madison, WI.

Shelly had met Gary in Cable, WI, and made their home in Sullivan and Hammond before moving to Hayward in May of 2025. She enjoyed crocheting and reading but also enjoyed the outdoors while gardening, kayaking and fishing with Gary. Most of all, Shelly loved her family and was a selfless and caring homemaker.

She is preceded in death by her father, Ryland Reynolds; her sister, Kris Cady; and her stepson, Matt Masloski.

Shelly will be remembered for her beautiful crochet work, the stories she shared, and the love she gave as a wife, mother, and grandmother.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
