I am so heart broken to hear this. She will surely be missed. She took over for my Mom after she passed and always keeping me on the right track. A very good hearted person inside and out. Now she is back with Bill and the rest of the family having fun like they always did. R.I.P.

So very sorry to read of Shirley’s passing. Our Laurel High Class of 1953 was so very happy she joined us at our 50th year celebration. She will always be a member of our class even though she moved North before graduation. Many wonderful memories of Shirley that will always remain with us forever. The family is in my prayers.
