Shirley was among the finest people I have ever known. I worked with her for 11 years, and enjoyed every moment. She knew what was important in life. She was kind to everyone, even people who didn't deserve her kindness. She loved her Christmas village and used to talk to me about it often because my wife has a considerable Christmas display herself. She akways looked and dressed so sharp and was such a dignified woman. I will miss her. Her family was blessed to have her in their lives and so was I.

I would like to express my sympathy to the Kelly family. I knew Shirley through her ceramic classes, and shared a lot of experiences with her during those years. She was very kind and generous and gave an assortment of ceramic materials to the Brookfield Senior Center when she ended her ceramic classes. They were very much appreciated. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all. We will always remember what a great person she was. God Bless--

I knew both Ray & Shirley & their familys. I remember Ray Straiton in the Beaver Brook Fire Dept Boy Scouts. Seems to me it was Troop 26 & also Henry Abbott Tech along with all the other Beaver Brook guys. I remember Shirley & Ray walking hand in hand in Danbury High School. God bless both of them

Shirley, While I only knew you for 2 years, you were always a friendly woman. Always willing to help out and always had a smile on your face. You will be greatly missed at Greentree Toyota. God bless you and your family. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Say hello to my grandparents for me.
