Shirley Kontol Obituary
Shirley shared nearly sixty years of marriage with her husband, George Kontol. Together, they built a life grounded in love and resilience, raising three children: George Kontol Jr., Donna Kontol, and Donald Kontol. She treasured her grandchildren and joyfully welcomed her great-grandchildren.
George and Shirley worked side by side at movie theaters across Indiana, including 23 years at the historic Y&W drive-in theater.
With quiet strength and unwavering belief, she ensured that those around her knew the name of Jesus. Her faith was not only a guiding light for herself but also a beacon for her family. Her legacy lives on through the faith she shared with the family she loved so fiercely.
"God bless"
