My sincere condolences to the family. I have many fond memories of Shirley. She was like a second mom to me at Tiffany Woods where we worked. She was the most kind gentle hearted person I know. Always talked about her grandkids. She was a proud grandma for sure. Rip Shirley and I know you and Allen are happy to be together again. Love Karen

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Shirley, she was a wonderful friend and coworker and was a wonderful friend to me when we moved to Muskegon. I will miss connecting with her on FB. So very sorry for the loss to her family she loving spoke of them all.

Please accept my sympathy at Shirley’s passing. She lived within a block of me, and I enjoyed having many haircuts by her! We always enjoyed a good visit at each haircut!
May your family be blessed with comfort and peace.
