Shirley retired as the office manager of Wells Fargo Bank after many years of dedicated service. Above all else, family was always first in Shirley’s heart. She was a loving, patient, generous, and understanding woman who cared deeply for those around her. Shirley cherished her husband and loved her family dearly.
In her free time, Shirley enjoyed knitting and reading, and she especially looked forward to her many vacations to Florida. She also treasured the time she spent with her card club, enjoying the friendship, laughter, and companionship it brought into her life. Shirley will be remembered for her warmth, kindness, and unwavering love for her family.

(Lauren) Buckley; great grandchildren, Brenna, Holden, and Killian; many nieces and nephews; and sister-in-law, Lynn Laughlin.
