Shelley "Elle" Tse

Shelley “Elle” Tse passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, March 30, 2021. She was only 30 years old, and had so much left to share with the world. Shelley was a cherished daughter, sister, aunt, friend, artist, confidante, and life adviser, who inspired so many with her kindness, generosity, creativity, and enthusiasm for life. You could always count on her to provide words of encouragement or a sympathetic ear.

Shelley was born on April 19, 1990, and was a lifelong Austinite, except for the brief period she attended the UT Dallas—she graduated early to return home to Austin as soon as possible. Shelley was a talented graphic designer who was passionate about her craft and won several awards for her designs. She continually pushed herself to perfect various other artistic mediums (including painting, hand lettering, and embroidery) and enjoyed sharing her creations with her loved ones.

She left the world a much more beautiful place, both literally and figuratively.

Shelley is survived by her parents, Tom and Betty Tse; sister and brother-in-law, Grace and Eric; nephew, Ethan; loving members of her extended family; and her many wonderful friends.
