Shirley or Mrs. White as I have always affectionately called her, given we first met when I was in 5th grade was an amazing lady. She will be dearly missed.
Sending love and prayers for peace to her entire family.
What a blessed life she lived. She raised my husband Keith and I will always be grateful to her, because he has been a wonderful leader, protector and provider for our family. Although, we didn’t live near her in the last 20 years, we were blessed to be able to take her on a couple of vacations with us to Washington D.C. and to New York City which we all enjoyed very much. She will be missed and remembered fondly in our hearts.
Aunt Shirley White was the eldest of White family. She is now in heaven with Uncle Paul. I was glad we stopped to visit last fall before leaving Wisconsin. I will miss her.
