Shirley Reynolds Obituary
Reynolds, 79
WESTBROOK -- Shirley Elizabeth Reynolds, 79, passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 22, 2011, at the Gorham House.
She was born in Westbrook, the daughter of Warren and Lucille (Pendleton) Smith. Shirley worked at the Dana Warp Mil, S.D. Warren Paper Co. and for the Westbrook Police Dept.
Shirley was a very hard worker. She enjoyed going to the lake, gardening, and singing. She was an avid animal lover, and never let a stray animal go hungry.
She was predeceased by a brother, Warren Smith Jr., and two sisters, Cora Donahue and Ethel Nugent. She is survived by a daughter, Roxanna York of Westbrook; brothers, Floyd Smith and Lawrence Smith, sisters, Beverly Seger and Patricia Dyer; two grandchildren, Angela and Christopher; a great-grandchild; and her loving pet dog, Cricket.
Funeral services will be private. Arrangements are by Blais & Hay Funeral Home, Westbrook.
The family would like to thank the staff at the Gorham House, for the loving and compassionate care they provided during the six years she was there.
In lieu of flowers, memorial
donations may be made to the Westbrook Animal Refuge League.

Over the last 2 years, my mom has been a resident of the Oxford Unit along with Shirley. We enjoyed how Shirley always knew all the words to songs and how she used to do so well when the Gorham House staff would leave a word off the end of a riddle and Shirley would chime right in with the answer.
I'm sure Shirley is in a happy place now...and is still singing.
Our condolences...The Family of Stella Lemieux

Dear Rocky,
Please accept our sympathy, love, prayers and thoughts during this difficult time of transition and grief. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Your mother was a woman who had known a lot of heartache and yet rose above it all to become a woman of the church and a great member of the choir. May she rest in the peace that she never knew here on earth. All our love, Rick and Dave
