Shirley Elizabeth (Green) Malins

Daughter of the late Sarah (Grinblatt) and Max Green. Loving wife of 50 years to the late Jerome Malins. Beloved mother of Elyse Malins of Westborough, David Malins and his wife, Tracey of Andover and Linda Buyer and her husband, Chuck of Sharon. Cherished grandmother to Ben, Evan, Ashley, Rachel, Justin, Julie and Michelle and great-grandmother to Lucas, Elliot, and Camille. Sister of Beatrice Saftler, Joseph Green and Stanley Green.

Shirley raised her family in Needham where she was co-owner of Flower Fashions, creating beautiful arrangements for all kinds of celebrations. She was an avid tennis player and Master bridge player, playing in bridge tournaments all over the world but, as she often said, she never liked golf but would play so her son-in-law could play when visiting Florida.

Shiva at the home of Linda and Chuck Buyer on Thursday, from 5-7 and Friday from 2-4.
