One of the kindest people! She was so sweet. I worked with her at Westbury and she was lovely. Big smile and warm heart. A friend to all. I felt very lucky to know her.

Dear Maryanne & Rosalie

I was deeply saddened to just learn of Aunt Shirley's passing. I, too, miss my Umpty. She was one cool lady. One of a kind is putting it mildly. Like comparing a rock collection to Mt. Rushmore. Her sense of humor was phenomenal. It was pretty much impossible to not have fun when Aunt Shirley was around. I always felt a special bond with her and will miss her laugh and tender heart.

Love,
Taylor

I miss my Umpty so much. Aunt Shirley was one of my first friends at Westbury over 23 years ago. She was a staple at this store and a staple in all of our hearts. No one was loved more than Aunt Shirley, by her family, friends and customers. Her sisters Rosalie and Mary Ann were her whole life. She loved them both so much-she would have walked thru fire for them and they would have done the same for Aunt Shirley. Rest with God Aunt Shirley, you are one of his most cherrished people.
All My Love,
Pam
