My sympathies to the Case family members.
I knew Shirley as an employee at the can making plant in Denison. She was an oh so important member of the quality assurance team there. She was constant and careful in helping us provide a quality product to our customer. She was a good person and made an important contribution to our success.
My best to you all in this sad time.

Shirley became a regular at the SHS Class of 1954 monthly luncheons about two years ago. It was so great for us to all renew this relationship after all the years that had passed. She will truly be missed.
