Not sure what to say?

She is still a shining star in the memories of us who went to Catholic Central with her. Class of 1955

Rich and family, I just heard of Shirley's passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to each of you. I had the privilege to work with Shirley for a number of years at Meijer. Shirley was always a bright light.

Cherish your memories of all she brought to your family and her many friends..

Thank you Shirley for the laughter you brought to us❤.

My deepest sympathies to the Kaanta family. Shirley was such a joy and I enjoyed working at Meijer with her for many years. How she loved the Holiday Parties and Summer parking lot picnics. She was a beautiful person and will always be fondly remembered.

I remember Shirley as the most fun of all my parents' friends. Years after they were both gone, I would run into her and Rich every now and then at St. Al's, and she would always stop in to say hello and reminisce. Those visits always made my day. Heaven is a much more lively place now.

Shirley was special. She was fun, she loved everybody. I am proud to have gone to Catholic Central with her.
