Shirley and Bob were united in their commitment to the Shrine Hospital for Children. She served as Queen of the Ruh Neb Temple 64 Daughters of the Nile in l986, and later as the gracious first lady for her husband's year as the 1996 Potentate of Ben Hur Temple. She will be missed by her many friends in these great fraternal organizations.
She was a member of Highland Park Baptist Church. Shirley was grateful to the church community for their attention and prayers during her extended stay in Seton Hospital.

Shirley was an artist as was her mother; her creativity abounded. Her light shone the brightest when she was caring for children; blankets being knitted; tray favors being made to go with the children's meals; and benefits for the Shrine Burn Center being pulled together by her Sisters in Charity.
Shirley never stopped caring or sharing. She loved life: She loved children: She loved animals: She appreciated and loved all the beautiful loving care given her.
She was a devoted wife, loving mother, beautiful soul, blessed gift from God. Her spirit is free, her physical departure leaves us a gap that no one will ever fill. She would not want us to be sad, forever, rather celebrate her life and the love and joy that all things Shirley brought us.
