Shirley Helen Smith

So sorry to hear this news - my thoughts and prayers are with your family - Amy, Jerry and families.

Shirley and I did many readings together at St. Bernard Parish in Middleton. I always loved her dedication and her expression of love when she did her readings. I will miss her smile and hugs. She was always warm and welcoming. My deepest sympathies to the family, Jerry and family and friends. XO Rest in Peace dear. May the Lord Bless You, and Keep You; The Lord make his face shine on you, and be gracious to you; The Lord Lift up his countenance on you, and give you peace. Amen

So glad we had a chance to spend time with Shirley and Gerry a few years ago out in Culpeper, VA. Both of them retained their joy and humor and vibrant love of life. It was so wonderful that they both had time together with Bob and Vi--and that John and I lucked out and got to see them too! Deepest sympathies to the entire family. Our thoughts are with you all.

I'm sure I can speak for my parents Pat and George Svede, as well as my brother Greg and sister Michelle, in expressing our sadness at the news of Shirley's death. Hers was a glorious, vibrant life that we Svedes first had the pleasure knowing when our two families were just getting underway, back in the mid-1960s on Greenmeadow Drive in Waukesha. Years, careers, and generations later, the two sets of parents have remained in touch, and now we send our love to Jerry, Bryan, Owen, Amy and all of their family.

We had the distinct privilege of living next door to Jerry and Shirley in Sun City, Arizona for about 15 years. They were always such a joy to be around. Jerry with his sense of humor and Shirley with her eternal big smile and engaging laugh. We had so much fun with them on our trips to Laughlin. We even installed a gate (named the 'Shirley Gate') so Shirley could easily come into our yard to pick grapefruit. Wonderful memories that will never fade. Condolences to everyone in the family who are dealing with her passing. Look forward to seeing her again in heaven.
