Shelley Nathan Grudin

Shelley Nathan Grudin April 17,1940 – June 17, 2024 Shelley Grudin was born in Los Angeles, CA, to Leo and Mildred Grudin. He grew up with his sister, Luann, and brother, Steve. Shelley lived a life full of love and dedication to his family, friends, community, and the USC Trojans (“Fight On!”). Shelley earned both his Bachelor’s degree and his MBA from the University of Southern California. His journey as an investment professional included significant roles at various organizations, culminating with Hughes Investment Management Company, where he was VP and Director of Research. An active and engaged member of the community, Shelley held numerous leadership positions within the Los Angeles Society of Financial Analysts, serving on the Board and as President. He was also on the Financial Analysts Seminar Board of Regents and the Presidents’ Council. Shelley was married to Corinne Banasky for 45 wonderful years until her passing in 2014. Together, they raised two sons, Troy and Reed. In 2016, Shelley found love again and married Kathryn Hallowell. As an indication of his good nature and extreme tolerance, Shelley took all of the kids to Hawaii for a “familymoon,” where they somehow convinced him to ride on a flume through old sugar cane canals. In addition to traveling with his family, Shelley enjoyed golf, skiing, tennis, pickleball, bridge, and watching sports, especially those involving his alma mater. At golf, he was always happy when he shot his age, and on the pickleball court, he was known for a lightning-fast service return that barely cleared the net. Shelley was a member of Awbrey Glen Golf Club starting in 1995. He served on the Advisory Board and the Member Owned Club Board of Directors. Wanting to give back to the wider community, Shelley also was a founding member and treasurer of Glen Gives, a charitable organization in Bend, OR. Glen Gives started in 2004 with a chili cook-off and a small auction and grew over 20 years into a 503(c) that has now donated nearly $2 million to local families in need. Shelley was widely known for his strength of character and kindness. Even after his pancreatic cancer diagnosis, he lived each day to the fullest, showing incredible resilience and grace. Shelley will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who were fortunate to know him. We love you, Shelley. A special thank you to Partners in Care for their compassionate home care for Shelley in his final days as he passed from this life to more life. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Glen Gives or Partners in Care. A Celebration of Life will be held for Shelley on Sunday, August 4, 2024 at 1:00 pm. Location will be the Grace First Lutheran Church at 2265 NW Shevlin Park Rd., Bend, OR 97703
