Shirley Mae (Keim) Redinger, 84, of Scottdale, passed away at 9 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 18, 2019, at her residence surrounded by her loving family. Shirley was born May 1, 1935, in Scottdale and was a daughter of the late Ivan Rocita and Mary Katherine (Smith) Keim, who passed away in 1934 and 2000 respectively. She married Victor Eugene "Sam" Redinger on Oct. 12, 1963. Shirley was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and sister to her family. She was a graduate of Scottdale High School, class of 1953, and enjoyed baking, shopping, sewing, beauty, fashion, spending time with her family and friends, along with being chauffeured around by her loving husband, Sam. Shirley worked as a dietary aide at Frick Hospital, Mt. Pleasant, for many years and previously was employed as a secretary at Duraloy Blaw-Knox in Scottdale. She and her husband were faithful members of and worshipped at the City Church in Connellsville, where Shirley served as a greeter. She was community minded, serving in the Beta Y Gradale Sorority and as a consultant for Avon, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Beeline Clothing, Fay Swafford purses, Sasco products and Parklane Jewelry. She was a member of the Red Hat Society and a volunteer at Geyer Performing Arts Theater. Shirley will be sadly missed by her loving family: her husband of 55 years, Victor Eugene "Sam" Redinger; her daughter, Vicki Redinger Clark and her husband Richard, of Mt. Pleasant; her two special granddaughters, who she adored, Peyton Marie and Ashton Victoria Clark; her brother, Richard Keim and his wife Janet, of Scottdale; and her niece, Susan Alane Keim, of Pittsburgh.
