She was employed at Russell Stover Candies as a candy dipper and later worked at Northeast High School cafeteria for many years.
During her childhood she met Robert Lehl. In August 1946 they married. They had two children. Family was important to Shirley. She always wanted to help others. She loved dogs, reading, and walking especially when she could visit with her neighbors.
The family wishes to thank each member of The Arbors staff for their compassionate care. We also wish to thank Tabitha Hospice who helped care for Shirley in her final week before passing.
Shirley was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Robert; son, Rick and sister, Betty. She is survived by her daughter, Bobbie; brother in-law, Bill Lehl and several nieces and nephews.
To honor Shirley, be kind to one another and animals. Smile, read, and enjoy the little things daily. Shirley was a charter member of Northeast United Church of Christ, 6200 Adams St, Lincoln, NE 68507. If you wish, in lieu of flowers, a memorial may be sent to her church.
A private graveside service was held graveside at Lincoln Memorial Cemetery. A celebration of life is planned for a later date.
