Shirley enjoyed many of the Idaho pastimes such as harvesting mushrooms in the mountains, picking huckleberries, and picking raspberries with her son David. Shirley was a huge fan of Gonzaga, Seattle Mariners, and Seahawks so much so that she knew every player and all their stats. This enthusiasm was shared by her son for hours of discussions on how they should be coached. Shirley also had a great circle of friends in Idaho for lunches, bingo, and regular birthday celebrations. Every Holiday the family gathered for days full of laughter and love. We loved all of them and will cherish these times for the rest of our lives.
