Shirley Quagliariello Obituary
Born April 5, 1936 in Fairmount City, she was the daughter of the late Howard E. and Irma Lucille (Smith) Carlson.
She was a U.S. Army veteran. After being discharged, she became a loving wife, mother and homemaker.
She loved to cook and bake, and she belonged to the Multiple Sclerosis Support Group.
Survivors include her daughters, Gina Ratke and husband, Greg, JoAnn Kaufman, and Grace Lutz and husband, Sam; grandchildren, Jessica Johnson and husband, Robert, Scott Ratke, Buddy Kaufman, Dustin Ernest and husband, Keenan, Levi Lutz and wife, Allison, and Cameron Lutz; great-grandchildren, Xander, Alexis, Caitlin, Christian, Griffin, Noah, Heath and Julian; special sister-in-law, Ramona Powell; several nieces, nephews; great-nieces and great-nephews; and grand-brother-in-law, George Ratke.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 42 years, John Michael Quagliariello; brothers, Delbert Carlson, Alvin Carlson and wife, Frankie, and Leon Carlson and wife, Barb.
At Shirley's request, there was no funeral service.
A private graveside service was conducted at the MD State Veterans Cemetery, Rocky Gap, where military honors were accorded by Ft. Cumberland Post No. 13 Honor Guard.
Shirley was always with a beautiful smile. She has been broken, she has been challenged, she has felt the pain most couldn't handle, she was braver than she thought, stronger than we knew and an inspiration to us all.
She never gave up till her body wore out and she could no longer fight.
A TRUE WARRIOR TILL THE END!
