I met Shirley in a volunteer group we both belonged to in Altoona. After the group dissolved she still made the effort to get us past members together every few months, to connect and share what was going on in our lives. She was kind, thoughtful, and always willing to share her thoughts. She talked about her family fondly, especially the grandchildren. Deepest sympathies to her family and friends.

I always enjoyed visiting with Shirley and Bob. I always called her an angel because she was married to Bob. I worked with Bob at John Deere and he was fun! Take care and hold your memories close. Fly high with the angels Shirley

She was always Shirley Shivers to me. She was a long time childhood friend to my mother, Shirley Foster Giebel. When she would come down to St. Louis to see my mom, they would giggle like girls. They would just have so much fun and I loved seeing them together. She always called me Gina girl. She was a wonderful friend to my mom and to me.
