Shirley loved working
with the public and met
many people who adored
her.
Shirley was always a
homemaker who loved to
cook, bake, garden and

her family: her children,
12 grandchildren and 18
great-grandchildren.

knew her. She was adamant
about “scratching her tick-

“freebies.”

65 years, Walt; her parents;
her six brothers: Clyde,
Bill, Dewey, Ralph, Willis
