We always enjoyed visiting with Shirley when we came home to the family reunions each year. We missed her this past August. She was always a part of the "Manson" family and we loved her.

We missed seeing her at the last "family" reunion. I'll remember her as the pretty, strawberry blonde who was married to my late brother.
Skip & Jennifer,we share in your loss and our prayers are with you. Uncle Sam & Aunt Mary-Lou

I first met Shirley when she joined the Attleboro Area Business and Professional Women's group. We worked closely on many projects - one was the cookbook we put together with WARA and her friend Ruthie. We have kept in touch ever since. My condolences to her family.
