Mrs. Stellrecht has served as an EMT with our service for the past 10 years, dedicating countless hours—often exceeding the commitment of full-time personnel—as a volunteer. Her unwavering compassion for the patients in her care is unparalleled, earning her the respect and trust of both colleagues and community members.

A true team player, Mrs. Stellrecht creates a welcoming environment for new staff, offering guidance and support to help them grow within the team. Her commitment to personal and professional growth is evident in her pursuit of continuing education and her inquisitive nature, constantly asking "what if" scenarios to better prepare for future challenges.

Even after a decade of service on the frontlines, her dedication to excellence and patient care remains steadfast. Beyond her work, Mrs. Stellrecht cherishes her role as a grandmother and enjoys spending quality time with her family.

It is our privilege to nominate Sheryl Stellrecht, a hard-working and committed professional, as a shining example of the values represented by the Minnesota Star of Life award.
