Jennifer was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer on September 9, 2021. Jen has taken a medical leave from her teaching position with the Owatonna Public Schools to focus on her treatment. She will endure chemotherapy, surgery and radiation as part of her treatment plan.
Jennifer is an Owatonna native who has found a passion in giving to others throughout her life. While enduring difficult times which has included the loss of loved ones to this disease, Jen has never lost sight of the good in the world and how she can add to it.
Her determination is shining through now more than ever and she is an inspiration to all.
Jen has served on the From The Heart committee for the past 12 years supporting others on their journey with cancer and it is now time for us to support her. Jen’s sister, Lisa Hilstad, was the first From The Heart recipient in 2009 as she battled breast cancer herself.
Shelly has been diagnosed with Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma and is undergoing treatment. Shelly is a native of Owatonna and has been employed at Climate by Designs International since 2001.
Shelly is in the infancy stages of her treatment with several months of treatment ahead of her.
Her son, Kenneth, is an OHS hockey alum and her son, Patrick, currently plays for OHS. Shelly has volunteered for several years on various committees in Owatonna and is currently an OYHA board member and concession manager.
