The family of Shirley Eileen (Venner) Doody is deeply saddened to announce her passing on January 23rd, 2026. She was the only child born to Thomas Vernon Venner and Evelyn Marian (Fey) Venner in Gloversville, New York on November 17th, 1942. After graduating high school and obtaining her NY state beautician’s license, she met and later married Jeremiah Joseph Doody on September 5th, 1964. Shirley and Jerry were married for 61 years prior to his passing on November 18th, 2025. She is survived by her three children, Sean, Amanda Baker (Kelly) and Daniel (Heidi). She is also survived by 5 grandchildren, Alec, Amelia Kate and Meg Baker and Olivia and Kellan Doody. She was a mother and grandmother (Mimi) first and foremost. She loved being a homemaker and loved her children and grandchildren fiercely. Her passing has left a void that cannot be filled. We rejoice in knowing that she is with the Lord and reunited with our dad and that we will one day see her again.
