Aunt Shirlee was an inspiration for finding joy in your life. Sharp, gregarious and fun, she always seemed to have a glass half full outlook. Blessed with many years of good health, a wide circle of friends and a devoted family, Aunt Shirlee was very appreciative in her latter years of her children, grandchildren, nephews and nieces who lovingly cared and supported her. We should all be as blessed as she was. Now she’s enjoying a challenging bridge game and a good book with her heavenly companions!
