Shirley, a loving homemaker, was known for her baking skills.  Her immaculate kosher home was often filled with the aroma of her ‘one-in-a-million’ banana cake and scrumptious brownies. In addition to baking, she also enjoyed cooking, reading biographies, knitting, needlepoint, gardening, and aquatic classes at Delnor Health and Fitness Center.  She was alert, healthy, trim, always impeccably dressed and a very generous person who would never divulge her age.

Shirley was a lifetime member of Hadassah, a member of the Fox Valley Order of Eastern Star Chapter #265, (she was Esther), and a former pink- lady volunteer at Delnor Hospital.  She thoroughly enjoyed living in St. Charles.
