Kennedy was born in Mount Kisco, and she attended R.C. Ketcham High School in Wappingers Falls, her obituary said.

According to her obituary, Kennedy had a love of travel, family, and her close group of friends.
"Her courage and unflinching bravery in the face of the highs and lows that came with her treatment inspired us all," her obituary reads. "During this time, Shelby’s mantra became 'Faith, Hope, and Love' – a mantra that all who knew Shelby will carry with them in her honor."
She is survived by her husband, Mark Kennedy, her mother Karen Skinner and her partner John Hannigan, her father, Jeffrey Skinner, her brothers, Ryan Skinner and Tyler Skinner, her step-siblings, Jessica Zimmerman and Sean Hannigan, her father and mother-in-law, Arturo and Patricia Puente, her sister-in-law, Amanda Kennedy, and brothers-in-law, Brandon Kennedy, Fernando Puente, and Andres Puente.
