Shirley was a longtime resident of Hobart although the last five years she was enjoying life at Golden Living in Portage where she made many lovely friends-many of whom she considered family.  A special thank you goes out to the caregivers and nurses at Golden Living and her precious friends.

Aunt Shirley was a loving, sweet Aunt to us all, making each one of us feel special. She will be deeply missed.

Aunt Shirley was a long time member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Hobart and so appreciated the visits by the lovely ladies from her church.
