She was preceded in death by her parents, Reuben and Olga; sister, Mary Jean Garrity; brothers, George, Donald, Richard, Robert and John Madden; brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews.
Shirley has always been a living keeper of the family history, knowing names, dates of birth and much more.
