Kendra and family, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Your Mom was one of the most lovely women. So blessed to know her and your Dad as a member of my church family. Praise God for the assurance of being reunited one day in eternity.
Shirley was one of the sweetest ladies I've ever met she was very near and dear to my heart! I know all too well the heartache of losing a mother and I will pray for your family for the Lord to give you peace and comfort during this difficult time. Please don't hesitate to call if you need anything.
My condolences to the family I worked with Shirley and Dale at Clay County Hospital. Very sweet couple. Remember Dale talking about meeting Shirley at Good Samaritan Hospital in Vincennes.
Shirley and I worked together at CCH night shift. She was a great nurse and co-worker. I also worked ER and Dale worker Radiology. He always greeted me with are you going to be an "olby" or "newby" today. They were definitely a special couple. They are reunited again.
I'm so sorry we couldn't come to her service. We had gone to Pigeon forge for a small vacation and couldn't make it back in time. I respected both Dale and Shirley. They were wonderful servants of the Lord Jesus.
Such a sweet lady. I remember Shirley and Dale fondly from Oak Street Baptist❤️.
So Sorry Kendra and all family I'll tell Carmen.prayers for all
Shirley was the night shift nursing supervisor at MMCH in Batesville when I was a young RN. I knew both Shirley and Dale. She was a sweet lady.
Our prayers and condolences go out to you, the family. We remember so well the good times that we shared with your mother and dad. They are now reunited in their heavenly home. We look forward to one day seeing them again. May God bless and comfort you during this time.
I am so sorry about Shirley passing. She and Dale were both such wonderful people. Janice and Gary and I will never forget the incredible ways she helped mom and dad over the years, first in Xenia and then at Heritage Woods in Flora before they moved here to Idaho. I hope you know how much dad appreciated that help too. Our thoughts and prayers are going to all of you.
I worked with Shirley for a number of years at clay county hospital and she was such a great nurse and co-worker! So sorry to hear of her passing. My sincere condolences to you all.
