Shirley was an energetic, spunky, and sassy homemaker who loved her family, cooking, baking, crafting, and golf. She was a passionate pet owner and completely spoiled her dogs and cats. She was an avid reader and loved sitting on her deck with a glass of wine and a good book.
Shirley spent the last couple of years living at Holland Home Cook Center. She loved the care team and didn’t hesitate to tell them how she felt and shower them with hugs and kisses. Shirley and the family were blessed to have such an amazing team love on her.
A private memorial service will take place with the immediate family. A celebration of life will take place later. If considering a donation, Shirley would be honored if one is made in her name to a charity that involves animal rescue or animal care.
