Dear Gary, Kim and family,
So sorry to hear of Shirley´s passing. I haven´t seen Shirley for many years but my vision of her is one of admiration and fondness for the many years she worked with my Mom and years she was my acting supervisor.
May she now rest in peace.
God bless you all.
Sorrowfully,
Barb Malloy

I met Shirley in 1971 at the Clearfield Hospital. She always had a smile. She was a wonderful ICU Nurse.
