Shirley Storks Obituary
Shirley was born in Elkton, South Dakota on October 6, 1935, a daughter of Evelyn and the late Freddy Russie. Shirley was united in marriage to Robert E. Storks on May 5, 1957 in St.Peters Lutheran Church, East Detroit. She was a 1953 graduate of East Detroit High School and obtained her Masters Degree in Special Education from Wayne State University. She was an avid reader who enjoyed cross word puzzles, her grandchildren and loved the kids of Neil Reed School where she taught special education, 32 years for the Macomb Intermediate School District. All her children will live on as her legacy. She will be deeply missed as she always made everyone feel welcome and had a helping hand for anyone who was in need.
Shirley is survived by her loving husband, Robert E.; her devoted children, James (Pamela) and Mark (Jody); her loving mother, Evelyn Russie; loving sister, Betty Lou (Tom) Sexton and grandchildren, Karen, Jamie, Lindsee, Jesica, Levi and Shane. She was preceded in death by her father, Freddy and brother, Butch Russie.
Visitation will be held at the Faulmann&Walsh Golden Rule Funeral Home, 32814 Utica Rd., Fraser, Sunday 5pm till 9pm and Monday from 1pm till 9pm. Funeral services will be held at the funeral home, Tuesday at 11am.
Memorials to Macomb Intermediate School District or Karmanos Cancer Institute would be appreciated.

Shirley,
This is not the end, but the beginning of a beautiful, wonderful life. Just a brief memory: We were at Jeff Good's wedding and were hugging each other on our way out and you exclaimed: "Aunt Maggie, we have the most beautiful family in the world!" I know how much you loved your family and how much they loved you. We will miss you.
With love and prayers,
Aunt Maggie Rusie
