“There are plenty of memories and things we will miss, especially spaghetti and meatball dinners on Sundays. We will also miss the trips back home to visit family, breakfasts every weekend, long rides through Mill Creek Park and surrounding areas, and walks through the neighborhood. We love you always, will cherish every memory, and will miss you deeply.”

Private services for Shirley were held at the Davidson-Becker Funeral Home in Struthers. Condolences may be sent to www.beckerobits.com.
