Shirley Skrip Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 28, 2024.

Shirley A. Skrip, aged 88, passed away on October 27, 2024, in Homer Glen, IL. Born in 1936. Shirley dedicated much of her life to her career at Masterpiece Studios in Cicero, IL, where her presence left a long-standing legacy.

Described by those who knew her as a giving and loving individual, Shirley always made those around her feel like family. Her home was filled with warmth and hospitality, evidenced by her passion for cooking. Shirley's culinary delights were enjoyed by thousands at churches, weddings, and gatherings among neighbors, friends, and family. Her hobbies also included bowling and playing cards, and she was an avid fan of the game show "Wheel of Fortune," never missing an episode.

Shirley is survived by her children, Tom Skrip (Janice), Nancy Uher (Rick), and Jill Maltese; grandchildren Brandon Skrip, Taylor Moore (Skrip), Brad Uher (Aly Harms), Rachel Uher (Wyatt Spresser), and Kevin Maltese; and great-grandchildren Mikey, Raelynn, and Owen Moore. She also leaves behind her sister Dianne Negoski, along with many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Shirley was preceded in death by her husband, Anthony Skrip.

A celebration of Shirley's life will be held on Thursday, November 14, 2024, at her daughter's house in Homer Glen, IL. Please contact the family for details.

The family asks those wishing to honor Shirley's memory to make contributions to their local food pantry, continuing her community support and kindness.

Shirley's life was marked by her unwavering kindness and the joy she brought to others through her cooking and compassionate spirit. Her legacy will continue to inspire those who knew her and were touched by her generosity.

Shirely and I met 44 years ago when we worked together at Masterpiece Studios. She was the best boss of my working life, but more than that, she became and remained a dear friend to me and my family. Not only was she kind, thoughtful, and caring, she was also a great cook. She will be deeply missed.

We were saddened to learn of Shirley's passing. As a long time neighbor of Shirley we saw her love and devotion for her family. She was a good friend and a great neighbor. She was a nice lady always ready to help out when needed and she will be missed.
