My sincerest condolences to Connie, Barb, Roger and families. She and my mom were a phenomenal pair of Girl Scout leaders for Troop 59. What wonderful memories I have of GS paper drives, camping trips, sewing projects etc. etc. There were many. Mr Remmel and Roger were never far away always lending a needed helping hand. I know how much she is missed. Bless her heart and soul.

This lovely picture of Shirley makes tears come all over again! When I think of Shirley; the phrase salt of the earth comes to mind. Shirley was kind, funny and decent. M memories will be sitting around the pool in her pristine yard surrounded by beautiful flowers! No one will ever match Shirley’s peanut squares (epic!) and many an old fashioned toast will go up in your name, Shirley! You are cherished and missed!
