Shirley is survived by her two sons, Craig Zeese of St. Louis MI and Charles (Linda) Zeese of Trenton MI; one granddaughter, Bryony (Christopher) DeRose of Canton MI and two great grandsons, Carter and Brennan DeRose.

Shirley worked in a variety of positions and companies, but her favorite was the reservation department at Innisbrook Resorts in Tarpon Springs, Florida. Music was her avocation and her greatest joy was singing in church and community choirs. In 2005, she realized her life-long dream of publishing a book, ?Henry Ford, Thru the Eyes of a Child?, which described her fond childhood memories of growing up knowing the automotive icon on a personal bases. Shirley?s family would like to thank the past and present employees of Warwick Living Center for providing wonderful care for the past five years.
