Sincere sympathy to all Shirley’s family at this sad time.

i have many great memories of your mom as we travelled together to Eastern Star for many years. Shirley was a dedicated and faithful member who took pride in any position she filled.

There were also many hilarious card games and wonderful dinners the old gang of 8 gathered for on New Year’s Eve and birthdays.

Family was number one, treasure all the wonderful memories!
