Getting to know Shirley at a water aerobics class was a joy. I learned much about her family and life as we talked. We grieved with her when her children died and her grandchild had the accident. With all her ailments it was amazing that she continued to exercise She was a wonderful l example to me.. I will truly miss her. My heartfelt sympathy to all her family and friends.

I was blessed to meet Shirley two years ago when I began bowling on her team with Eileen, and Rozanne. We had a good time bowling each week and she made me feel very welcome when I started bowling with them. I never met any of her grandchildren but she talked about them constantly and was very proud of her family. I'm so sorry now that I was sick and unable to go to dinner on our last get together. You are all in my thoughts and prayers and Shirley you will be greatly missed.

So sorry to hear this, she was a good friend that I always looked forward to seeing at Monday water aerobics. She would ask what I had found at the yard sales and what I was going to do with all that stuff. I would watch for pint bottles for her and bring them over and visit with her. I will miss my friend very much, Love you Shirley, Kirk.

Shirley was a good neighbor. When she decided to give away some of her fabrics, I was one of the lucky recipients. I loved seeing her family gather at her home. Sending our love and prayers to her family. We'll miss you Shirley.
