During this challenging year, 2020, Shirley kept her spirits high and enjoyed friends and her routine at Brookdale. She spoke with family daily, kept up with the news, keeping her mind sharp and wit intact. Shirley is already missed by us all, a spitfire and a constant in our lives. Shirley and the fun memories we all made together will stay in our hearts and minds forever. We love you Mom, Grandma, Great Grandma, Mother-in-law and Friend. Due to the current Covid situation, the family will celebrate Shirley’s life with a memorial at a later time . The family asks that gifts in memorial be given to the Diabetes Association or the Cancer charity of your choice.
