Shirley M Falk

LODI - On June 22, 2024, surrounded by loved ones, Shirley Falk peacefully passed away at the age of 87 after a brief battle with cancer. Throughout her journey, she found solace and strength in her deep faith in Jesus Christ, which sustained her until her last breath.

Born in Fitchburg, Wis. in 1937, Shirley led a life marked by compassion and dedication to her family, friends, and community.  Her unwavering belief in God's love and grace shaped her character and touched the lives of all who knew her. Shirley served as a Deacon at New Life Christian Church for 30 plus years. She donated many hours to different youth programs in Lodi, including the Highschool musicals, DanzXpress, and Sunday school classes.  She also worked in missions including travel to orphanages and churches in India.  Shirley cherished moments spent with family, friends, offering support and encouragement.

Shirley leaves behind her children, Tim (Ann Marie), Mitch (Lois), and Jeff (Mary). She was the proud grandmother of Jessie, Lesli, Erica, Adam, Lydia, and Mitch and was the proud great grandma to Nicole, Gabe, Deanna, Lacan, Tori, Jacklyn, Abram, Maybelle and Harper and great-great grandma to Donovan. She is survived by her brother, Larry (Chris) McFarlane, and her sisters Mary (Delmer) Kielman and Pam (Rod) Stibb; sisters-in-law, Marilyn McFarlane, Mary Custer, and Barb Tomlinson; brother-in-law, Tom Falk, along with many nieces and nephews. Shirley was preceded in death by her husband, Robert; her mother and father, Beulah and Leslie McFarlane, her brother, Eugene; her grandchild, Danielle, and her great-grandchild, Olivia.  

She will be remembered for her unwavering faith, loving spirit, and the profound impact that she had on those around her. While we grieve the loss of her physical presence, we take comfort in knowing that she has found eternal peace in the loving embrace of Jesus Christ. Her memory will continue to inspire us all to live with compassion, forgiveness, and faith.

Visitation will be held at NEW LIFE CHRISTIAN CHURCH, 310 Millston Avenue, Lodi, Wis., on Thursday, June 27, 2024, from 4 pm to 7 pm and Friday, June 28th from 10 am until the time of a Funeral Service beginning at 11 am.  A Committal service and luncheon will follow.  Josh Bardwell and Rev. Lois Falk officiating. As we bid farewell to Shirley, we hold onto the belief that she now rests in the presence of God, where she will find everlasting peace and joy. Rest in Peace, Shirley. Your faith in Christ has guided us all.
