Shirley was in my class at Minor Hill School. She was a sweet, intelligent girl whom everybody liked, especially me–she was my girlfriend in the seventh grade. Even though I haven’t seen her in many years, I am saddened by her passing. I’m sure she was a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother. My condolences to her family.

I attended Minor Hill School with Shirley in the 1960s. She was a sweet, intelligent girl who was popular with her classmates. Even though I haven’t seen her in many years, I am very saddened by her passing. I know she was a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother. My deepest condolences to her family.
