Shirley Marlene Pollak

Shirley was the epitome of creativity which she expressed by designing and producing many paintings and drawings throughout her life. Another way she articulated creativity was through producing poetry and writing. The admiration and appreciation others conveyed for her work brought her great joy. It inspired her to strive to do more.

Shirley was always looking to the future. Until the end of her life she was planning trips and speaking about projects (more paintings, more writings) she intended to complete. She will forever remain an inspiration for her family.
