Hello, Shirley and I were neighbors in Lake Valley for a number of years in the 90's. We were also co-workers at Boulder Community Hospital during those years. Shirley was the hospital nurse in attendance at the birth of my son William and then thirty years later when he died of cancer she attended his funeral. She said to me: " I was present at his birth and I'm honored to be present at the end of his life as well." Shirley was a warm positive person and it was good to have known her. My prayers are for her and her family.

To Gordon and all of their family , I too, am so sorry and sad for your loss.
I echo Paula Martin-Herold´s comments ,
having been a classmate , and graduate from MHS of Nursing 1961 with them.
I treasure the memories with Shirley in school; and later with Gordon and Shirley when my husband and I were blessed with visits in their home. Their warm generous hospitality will never be forgotten.
Shirley was a joy to be with!
Her smile and and keen sense of humor reflected her love for God , her beloved family and all those in her path.
My time with Shirley in quiet moments enriched my life as she shared her interest in her faith in God , family , career, books , outdoors, sewing , knitting , cooking , of course service in community and so much more!
Remembering her strength the last time we met for dinner in Colorado ,
She was so strong !
With a limp, she was determined , with a smile , to
walk to their car to give me a beautiful plate inscribed with Bible verses she had found
" just for " me.
Although she will be greatly missed, may treasured memories bring comfort and peace to all.

To Gordon and all of Shirley's Family,
I am deeply sorry to read this. I am sad. We were classmates and friends at MHSchool of Nursing and have stayed in contact since Graduation in 1961. I am thankful that we got to be together once again last September at MMU for a wonderful Nursing Celebration in Cedar Rapids. Prayers for all of you.
