Shirley was more like a sister to me than a cousin. We grew up spending a lot of time together on the farm, and I know she loved me because she would grumble when she had to shoo the hens off their nest so I could gather eggs, but she went with me every time. She was patience personified and taught me to drive a car at 13!! You couldn't help but laugh when she did; her laugh was infectious. She loved all of you, her family, and I know you will miss her terribly. So will I. My deepest sympathy to each of you.

Shirley was my mom (Pat Block's) cousin, niece to my Grandma, Scude Mahoney. Every time I went to visit my Grandma in Pipestone, I would get to see Shirley, and I always looked forward to seeing her. She was kind, her smile was so warm, her laugh unrivaled, and she always made you feel so loved. I send my sincerest sympathy to her family. I hope the wonderful memories you all shared help comfort you in this difficult time.

Shirley's family were our neighbors in the country. My dad and her dad farmed together and our families shared many times together. Also enjoyed the extended family when Shirley & brother Jim got married and brought their children to the farm.
Your family will have many happy memories to share about Shirley.
