Shirley was the best Mom in the world. Her children always came first. She never did anything for herself -- we were her first priority. She was a strong woman -- who never let life harden her. She was always happy and up to try anything. She was the sweetest, kindest, most unselfish person you could possibly meet. She was loved by everyone who met her. She loved her family, coffee, onion rings, and anything sweet. She has the best laugh around!
Our lives won't be the same without her.
Special thanks to the Allina Hospice Team and Donna at Ark on the River for her wonderful and loving care of Mom the last week of her life!
In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to the family.
