Shirley A. Harris

Shirley was born on February 23, 1952, in Greeley, Colorado, to John Silkis and Helen Kling.

She is survived by her life partner and best friend, Art Gallegos; her son, David Scott Harris; her daughter, Stacey Oster; her grandchildren, Shaylah Pattison and Keelan Oster; her great-grandchild, Maggie Pattison; her sister, Donna Harper; and many other loving family members and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her sister, Virginia Lou “Ginger” Silkis; and her precious infant daughter, Michelle Suzzette Harris.

Shirley was a graduate of Greeley High School. She went on to become a successful long-term business owner, operating a commercial and residential cleaning company for many years.

Shirley was a sweet soul in the truest sense; someone who found joy in the things that matter most: the laughter of family gathered close and the simple beauty of a sunset on any given day. She had a gift for appreciating life, and those around her couldn’t help but see it a little more clearly because of her.
