Dear sister of Georgeanne (Jan) Brinkerhoff. Special aunt to many nieces and nephews and wonderful friend to many.
Shirley was an active member of St. Brendan's Church and she enjoyed reading, traveling, cooking and spending time with loved ones. Among the numerous places she visited, Cape Cod was her favorite. Shirley will be remembered as being the life of the party. Whether it was the annual clam bakes, multiple family parties, or eating seafood at oyster fest, she was always laughing and dancing.
Funeral arrangements are being handled by Sunset Memorial Funeral Services in North Olmsted. A mass will be held at St. Brendan’s Church at a later date due to Covid.
