We regret to inform you that former IFBB Pro Shelley Beattie died on February 13, 2008, just a few months short of her 40th birthday. We will reproduce our two WPW/WPP print magazines with her on the cover for our April Online Magazine. She is shown here in an early 90's photo with Bob Bonham's father, who passed away a year earlier. Bob is the owner of Strong and Shapely Gym in East Rutherford, NJ, where we do most of our gym photo sessions. |
