Shirley is survived by her two children, Dalice (Marlow) Hansen and Michael (Christina) Peterson; four grandchildren, Andrea, Jeremy, Shelby and Somer; six great-grandchildren; extended family and friends.
Shirley was a lifetime member of the VFW Ladies Auxiliary, so her celebration of life open house will be held at the Forest Lake VFW on June 2, 2017 from 3-7 p.m. with a short presentation by the Ladies Auxiliary at 4 p.m. Shirley did not want a funeral, she wanted a celebration with family and friends gathered together sharing memories. No Flowers Please.
