Shirley was a devoted

Warm banana bread,
cookies, or a home baked
snack were always ready
for her kids after school.
Family meals were impor-
tant to her, and the family
sat down not only to eat,
but to share the important
happenings of their day.
She was deeply devoted to
faith and family. Shirley
was very involved with her
church, Sacred Heart in
Durkee and St. Francis de
Sales in Baker City by be-
ing part of the Folk Choir,

ucation, holiday programs
and community service

active in life and loved
water skiing, gardening
and being outside; anytime

out. She was always do-
charge negotiating a bad check.

Shirley lived a coura-
geous life with Multiple
Sclerosis, while showing
the world that no matter
what challenges you may
be given, it does not have
to define who you are. She
handled it with grace, love
and dignity.

part of her character as
she continued to live her
days with integrity. Even
through her final days,
she left an impression on
those around her with a
strong spirit. Shirley gave
the wonderful gift of love,
compassion, strength and
forgiveness as she touched
the lives of many. She is
an instrument of God, and
will be with us forever.
