I graduated with Shirley from Littlestown High. I remember her as being a little shy.

Chris and Kathy,
I was sorry to hear about Aunt Shirley. I never got to see her very much but always think about her when I remember Uncle Ronald. I am unable to make the service on Friday but please know that you and your families are in my prayers.
Sincerely, your cousin, Mary Schmuck Jacobs

Shirley was a good friend of my wife, Almeda Dunn, who passed away almost three years ago. Her phone calls were a great comfort to my wife.Shirley was a sweet, caring person. I'm sure she will be missed.
