Shirley worked at Telecron Company and at Vellumoid Company in Worcester for 30 years. She was a member of Greendale People's Church and enjoyed bowling in earlier years. Shirley loved and lived a simple life. She cherished time spent wither her grandchildren and enjoyed a good laugh and especially a good joke.

She enjoyed watching the Red Sox, attending family outings with her children and grandchildren, visiting with extended family in New Hampshire and time spent at Cape Cod.

The family wishes to extend a special thanks to the entire staff at Oakdale Rehab and Skilled Nursing Center for their patience and compassionate care shown to Shirley for the past three years. Their care and concern is second to none.

Look beyond the empty chair
To know a life well spent
Look beyond the solitude
To days of true content
Cherish in your broken heart
Each moment gladly shared
And feel the touch of memory
Beyond the empty chair
