Shirley spent her career working as a CNA, beginning her training at the VA hospital in Milwaukee. Moving to Elkhorn in 1969, she continued her work at the Lakeland Hospital (now Aurora-Elkhorn), Walworth County Nursing Home and Holton Manor Nursing home in Elkhorn. Shirley touched many lives during those years as she always had a smile on her face, was friendly to all, and loved chatting with everyone she met. She enjoyed growing in her faith with Immanuel Lutheran Church in Lake Geneva. Shirley loved spending time with her family and friends and will be greatly missed by all.
The family would like to thank Mary, and the staff at Kindred Hearts of Elkhorn for their ongoing care and dedication to the elderly. For the health of all, no services will be held at this time. There will be a family graveside service.
