Mom was a devoted Wife and Mother and was as selfless and caring of a person as anyone you will ever meet. She made certain her children had a Christian upbringing.

She was also a devoted grandma to 10 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren and 2 great great grandchildren; with 2 more great grandchildren on the way. Mom read her bible and prayed for her family every day that she was able, and her family is grateful for that. She will be greatly missed by all.

She and Leo loved square dancing, playing 500, and visiting with their children and grandchildren. Shirley volunteered at hospice and enjoyed spending time with her many friends.
