Shirley Conway Obituary

02/24/1921 - 12/12/2022 Shirley Lawson Conway passed on Dec. 12, 2022 at the age of 101. She was born in Cambridge, MA. Shirley was a loving mother and wonderful 'Nana' and 'GiGi.' Her great loves were golf, bridge, and family and friends. An 'East Coast Woman' who transformed herself into a 'California Girl,' her constant motto was "live life to the fullest." It's a motto she excelled in fulfilling with joy and resiliency. Shirley is survived by daughters, Sherrill Conway Oram-Smith, and Janis Conway Munninghoff; seven grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by husband, James Joseph Conway Jr.; son, Stephen Jeffrey Conway; sisters, Dorothy Husmer, and Ruth Ludlow; and parents, Gertrude and Stephen Lawson. Shirley will be interred at St. Lawrence Cemetery in New Haven, CT, with her loving husband of sixty-eight years. The Springs Funeral Services - North, tsfs.co

I am sad to read of Shirley´s passing. She was such a classy, kind and happy lady. Shirley was a patient of my husbands, Dr. Robert McNamara and we all loved seeing Shirley when she came in for her teeth cleaning. Bob enjoyed golf, as did Shirley, and they always like to rehash golf stories and their fun times at SGCC. May Shirley rest in peace and know she was a fondly respected and loved lady!!

My late wife Pat and I had many years of friendship and fun with Shirley and her husband Jim when they lived in the Pasadena area. Pat was in a weekly bridge club with Shirley. We played many rounds of couples golf with the Conways under the California sun. From her vivacious personality and active lifestyle, I would never guess that she was 3 years older than me.

I wish to convey to Shirley's daughters and to all their offspring what a wonderful person Shirley was. She will be missed by me and by her many dear friends here in California. My sincere condolences to the family.
