Together they enjoyed many happy times traveling the country in their "fifth wheel" home away from home and making countless friends along the way. Shirley always treasured holidays and other celebrations with family gathered in Iowa. She enjoyed reading and working puzzles and keeping in touch with family and friends near and far. Shirley always was gracious, incredibly intelligent, and made a lovely home for her family, even along the road. She will be greatly missed.
