Shirley was born in Hanover, PA on May 25, 1927 to the late Carrie Reindollar and had 6 siblings, Shirley being the youngest. She graduated from Eichelberger High School in 1945.
Shirley was preceded in death by her loving husband Paul H. "Snag" Krepps, Jr; her daughter Patricia Franklin; and her son Jeffrey.
She is survived by her daughter Sandra Ludman who resides in California with her husband Jack and family.
Shirley and Snag loved going out dancing every Saturday. Along with their many friends, they enjoyed traveling to California and Las Vegas. They also enjoyed many bus trips. They especially enjoyed a few sloe gin fizzes.
Paul and Shirley will be laid to rest at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery at a later date.
The family would like to thank all Shirley's caregivers at Hanover Hall and Green Hospice for the comfort they gave her over the last few months.
