Shirley Dalin

Although Shirley contracted polio when just a child, nothing hindered her zest for life. She loved to swim and drive her car to scenic places and enjoyed playing table games and cards with her friends. She was vibrant and had a wonderful sense of humor. Her infectious smile and laughter warmed everyone in her presence. She was dearly loved and will truly be missed. The angels have tucked her under their wings, and she is at peace. Bless you, Shirley. Lovingly, Joelene

And, she loved my kids . . . and treated them like family. I'll remember "fun 'n games" nights, and cooking for her, and the thrill of watching her open one of my hand-made...

It was so upsetting to see that Shirley had passed away. I worked with her at Cammarano Bros. for many years and tried to keep in touch in the years since her retirement. Please know my thoughts are with you during this time. She will be missed.
