Shirley was born January 28, 1919, in Pueblo. She graduated from Central High School. She was a computer data processor for CF&I Power Credit Union.
Shirley belonged to and was active in the Episcopal Church for most of her life. She was also a member of the DAR and many Bridge Clubs. Her many hobbies included gardening, playing Cribbage, reading, history, and any and all trips to Las Vegas, Laughlin, and Cripple Creek. She was passionate about traveling throughout the U.S. and abroad. She loved the mountains, her little dog, Midget, and her friends and family. She will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved her.
Special thanks goes to her favorite physician, Dr. Jim Stjernholm, who always went above and beyond the call of duty; his kindness and compassion throughout her life can never be repaid. The family would also like to thank the nurses, CNAs, therapists, and staff on 4100 at St. Mary Corwin Hospital, all of whose care and attention made her last days comforting to her and her family.
There will be no viewing. Cremation, Montgomery & Steward Crematorium.
