I worked with Shirley for many years at International Paper in Kenton. After she left, we still got together. Maybe not as often as we should have, but we were always there for each other. It was Nancy Ramge, Shirley, Judy Brim and I. We lost Nancy first, and now Shirley is gone. The last time we were together, we had breakfast at Henry's. We always tried to get together at least every other month. She was so proud of Heather and Jordan. She always had pictures on her phone to show me. I loved Shirley and will always remember her. I really miss her. She was a wonderful friend.

I am heartbroken over the loss of my dear friend Shirley. Even though she no longer worked with me, we still managed to get together for breakfast a couple of times thru out the year. She would catch me up on the boys Jim and Phil.
She sent Sharon Ault and me the pictures of Heather and her horse and she was very proud of her. She loved you all so much and it was apparent. I know in my heart she suffered these last couple of years with ALS and it is sad it was not diagnosed till recently.We have lost her too soon and I will miss her terribly.Geoff and Sarah, Jim, Phil be strong and remember her love for you.
