Dear Family of Grandma Shirley,
I knew Shirley from her work at Encompass Early Education and Care. What a neat lady. She was so loving and kind to everyone. How lucky so many children were to have been loved by Grandma Shirley.
My sincere sympathy.

Grandma Shirley will be missed so much at the Rosebush Encompass. I will cherish our frequent chats...she was always so optimistic about life and the children. She was an inspiration to so many in that she continued to be so active making a difference in the lives of children who really needed her! My heartfelt sympathy to her whole family.

Eric Kuntz and I always looked forward to Grandma's Christmas cards and proudly displayed them. Grandma Shirley came to Marquette to visit another family member and made a point to come and visit with Eric and I. Shirley was and always will be a kind and warm soul. You will be missed but never forgotten.
