I worked at MPC and had pleasure of knowing Shirley. She was the best housekeeper and fun to talk to. She always had funny stories to tell us. I was shocked to see her name in obituary as I always wondered what happened to her. Great memories of Shirley hanging out window in our building and cleaning the windows while another housekeeper held her legs!
