Shirley graduated from Hotel Dieu School of Nursing and worked as a CRNA at Terrebonne General for many years. She was a constant example of caring for her family, from doting on her many grandchildren to assisting her mother and aunts in their later years. She will be remembered for always putting others ahead of herself. Shirley was a faithful woman and a parishioner of St. Bernadette Catholic Church, where she regularly attended mass. She will be missed by many.
The family would like to thank Patty Voss, the Haydel Memorial Hospice staff, Misty Bergeron, and Jessica Outhouse for their wonderful care, comfort, and friendship.
