Shirley Ann Saffer

Shirley married her high school sweetheart Norman Roger Saffer February 10, 1968. Together they lived in New Port News, VA, Manistique, and the metro Detroit area before retiring back to their hometown of Manistique.
Shirley enjoyed working as a bookkeeper at several local businesses. In her spare time, you could find her tending to her flower garden. Shirley was especially proud to be a part of the International Order of Job's Daughters and had fond memories as a member of the drill team. She received the Grand Triangle of Honor as a council member for her mentorship and guidance of young women in the order.
Shirley was a kindhearted woman who loved nothing more than a house full of family and friends to entertain and cook for. She excelled at late night conversations and listening with her whole being.
Shirley was a loving soul who genuinely cared about everyone she met and was a mom to all who entered her home.
Shirley is survived by her husband Roger of fifty-seven years, son Norman J. (Kimberly) Saffer; daughter, Jackie L. (Keith) Woodburn; granddaughters, Shaelyn and Shelbey Saffer, and Reilly Woodburn; and grandson, Blake Woodburn.
