She is the cherished grandmother of Kelsey, Karley, Wyatt and Emmett. Her faith was unwavering and she spent her whole adult life finding ways to serve God, first as a Sunday School teacher and then volunteering her other talents. An avid gardener, Shirley enjoyed her time as a volunteer gardener at Greenfield Village and the Garden Club at Angelica Lutheran Church.
