Shirley Maxine Vlahovic

Shirley's life was one of service and hard work from assembling airplane engines in WWII to working as a social worker for the City of Kenosha. She was an active member of 4 Square Church where she met and married her loving husband, then continued God's work and raised their family at the Lakeshore Tabernacle. In 1977 they moved to Mesa, Arizona to assist with the growing needs of the faith based non-profit, Indian Trails. Her lifelong support of Jerry and Betty McSorley and the Outreach Services in Zapata, Texas never waivered.

Shirley is survived by 2 of her 4 children. Stephen Paul and David Joseph (sp. Debbie Erdmann) preceded their mother, and she is survived by Michael John and Vicky Lynn (sp. James E. Myers). She dearly loved and cherished her grandchildren: Joseph (Crystal), Katie (Joe Decker), Lori (Jaran), Amy and James and her 7 great-grandchildren. Her beloved brother, Milton (sp. Gail), and many other close relatives all had places in her heart and especially in her prayers.

Friends and family are invited to a celebration of life in her honor on Thursday, June 26, 2025 at 10:00 AM at Valley of the Sun Mortuary and Cemetery: 10940 East Chandler Heights Rd, Chandler, Arizona 85248, followed by a celebration of life reception at 11:00 AM.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
