Her brother Harold (Ivy) of Buckfield. Her “partners in crime” and her “right arm” David Whynot and Bobby Smith.
Shirley is predeceased by her husband Lawrence, her daughter Shelley Goulden and her son Kevin Miller.
Funeral service will be Thursday, November 21, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. in Chandlers’ Funeral Chapel, Liverpool. Reverend Judy Cross officiating. Reception to follow service.
