I grew up on Cedar Ave a few doors down from the McCabes - a Dennis the Menace of sorts. I never missed an opportunity to invite myself to lunch and/or dinner if I noticed them cooking or gathering outside. I fondly remember their homemade ice cream. And I didn't just eat their food and drink their pop, I also volunteered to "help" when I saw chores being done. About 20 years ago, Shirley and I saw each other while visiting people in hospital at St Mary's. She reminded me how I would knock on their door and say, "Hi Mrs. McCabe, can Mr. McCabe come out and play?" As an adult now (about their age then), I can see Joe shaking his head emphatically saying, "NO, I'm not here!" 😄 They were always so nice to me - like grandparents. The McCabes were a bright spot in our little neighborhood and remain so in my memories of childhood. It makes me smile to think of Shirley and Joe reunited in Heaven.
Condolences to the family.

Our dear friend Shirley will be remembered by everyone  who knew her. I met her shortly after I moved to Grand Junction, and I enjoyed her witty sense of humor and sweet personality from the very beginning. We went to the same church, and we visited there after mass. She loved her family very much and was a kind person to everyone. She had talent for painting and was very sharp in her thinking. She will be greatly missed. God bless her family. May the happy memories sustain you all. (Shirley Houser)
