Many of those who knew and loved Shelley Sax-Eldridge attended a celebration of life for the longtime Stern Pinball “Jack-of-All-Trades” on Monday, July 24, at Mikerphone Brewery in Elk Grove Village, Ill. She passed away a couple weeks ago following a multi-year cancer battle.
“Without Shelley, there would be no Stern Pinball,” said Gary Stern, chairman and founder. “Shelley embodied our company’s entrepreneurial, get-it-done spirit. More importantly, she was one of my closest and dearest friends and I will miss her.”
