      Shirley's Catholic faith was very dear to her. She attended Bible studies and retreats whenever she could. For many years Shirley led the rosary before daily Mass and spent an hour in adoration every Saturday morning. Shirley volunteered every Monday in the parish office and weekly at St. Joseph Food Pantry. She treasured time with her friends, frequently sharing a meal at Mary's Family Restaurant.
