Obituary

Shayne Marie Slattery, 67, left us to be with the Lord on July 15, 2019 in Dallas, Texas. She was born the oldest of three children on May 21, 1952 in Dallas, Texas to Elmer Richard Stake and Ruth Marie (Saunders) Stake. Shayne attended Ursuline Academy of Dallas and R. L. Turner High School until her senior year when the family moved to New Jersey where she graduated from West Milford High School. Shayne was heavily involved in acapella choir and theatre during high school, even landing a leading role in the musical Guys and Dolls her senior year. She returned to Texas and continued to follow her love of music even after high school, singing and playing piano in a band that traveled and performed for some time. Music was always her passion, even in her final years. Shayne attended two years of college at TWU studying to become a nurse. She left to pursue other avenues but always loved the field and continued to study and read her whole life. She had a long career with FedEx as a distribution supervisor. Shayne married Gary Patrick Slattery on May 1, 1981 and was a hard-working mother who raised two boys Joshua and Spencer Slattery. Shayne was an avid reader and loved to grow plants and flowers. You would always find her nurturing a new plant or starting a seedling. She enjoyed spending time with family and jamming to some good tunes, drinking that perfect cup of coffee and hanging around loved ones and friends. Those who knew her knew she could be feisty and bold when she wanted something, and she lived life her way! She was a deeply spiritual and intellectual person who loved learning about all aspects of the afterlife and of the universe. Shayne was a beloved mother, sister, friend, and beautiful soul who will be greatly missed. After a long struggle with her health she is finally at peace. She is preceded in death by her mother and father and former husband, Gary Slattery. She is survived by her two sons, Joshua Slattery and wife Shay of Frisco, Texas and Spencer Slattery of Dallas, Texas; her brother and sister-in-law Pat and Debbie Stake and their children of Carrollton, Texas; her brother and sister-in-law Richard and Phyllis Stake and their children of Plano, Texas and her beloved cousin Sharon Kohout of Lubbock, Texas. Please leave the family condolences and share memories on this website.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
