Today we're highlighting a woman, who has endured her fair share of heartache, but meets them all with a strength worthy of admiration.

Shirlene Plocheck's journey started with the death of her three year old adopted son, and her first husband. In her own words Shirlene became a robot, who ate slept and worked for eleven years before meeting the man of her dreams.

Through it all, Shirlene says it was her faith that brought her through the storm. She has fought through a brain tumor, a breast cancer diagnosis and her husband's simultaneous battle with heart complications. 

Shirlene is the definition of a true survivor.

Shirlene Plocheck was nominated by her husband Rusty Plocheck. You can read her full story online at PinkFishing.com.
