Shirley and her son Mitch were nice people. Used to talk to them during Shabbat services at Har-Zeon synagogue.

Shirley was a nice woman and my wife and I used to see her at Shabbios Services along with son Mitch at Har Zeon, prior to the COVID Pandemic. They were very nice.

Shirley was one of the first people I met at Har Tzeon 18 years ago. She always had a warm smile and, along with Mitchell, was a warm welcoming presence at Shul. May your memories help you at this difficult time. - Lisa Henig
