Shirley was a wonderful mother and friend. She had many talents and ambitions. She was an artist, she had a keen eye for interior design and she had an ambition and passion for travel experiences, which drove her to open her own successful Travel Agency business. She was an amazing hostess, providing decades of excellent homemade meals followed by her famous desserts. She had a strong passion to host holiday parties for family and friends, but the very most important thing to her in life was being able to shower her children with her unconditional caring love. She will be missed deeply. No services are planned at this time. Her children are planning a "Celebration of Life" at a later date. Washburn-McReavy.com Edina Chapel 952-920-3996
