Nashville Catholic Wrestling

In life, there are people who show up in every corner, loving, supporting, and being the very fabric of our hearts. Shelley Lovelace was one of those people. We are heartbroken to share that after 13 days in the ICU Shelley passed away this morning. She was a wonderful wife, devoted mother, friend to all, and a beacon of love in our Irish wrestling family. The Lovelace family is grateful for the overwhelming support they have received the past two weeks. Please continue to keep Cooper, Ronnie, and Chloe in your thoughts and prayers.

A visitation to honor Shelley will take place on Tuesday, April 9, 2024, starting at 4:00 PM and ending at 8:00 PM at the Harpeth Hills Memory Garden, Funeral Home & Cremation Center (9090 Highway 100, Nashville). Another visitation will be held on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM at the same location followed by a Funeral Service from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
