Shirley loved many things, but caring for her family was first and foremost in her heart, and she will be loved and missed by all who knew her. She also enjoyed Friday night fish fries and playing cards with friends and family. Shirley volunteered at the Dime and Dollar Thrift Store for 36 years.
The family is grateful for the fantastic care of the Wausau Aspirus Hospice staff, and a special thanks to Pastor Ryan Cortright of Redeemer Lutheran Church for his care and visitations, not only for Shirley, but for the spiritual welfare of the family as well. The family also greatly appreciates the prayers and support of the members of Redeemer Lutheran Church, and the many friends and family that supported Shirley during her battle with cancer.
