Shirley was the sweetest person and i will always have great memories in my heart of her. David and family I am so sorry for your loss. May God Bless you as she is happy and not hurting anymore.
Love,
Mary Giles

David and Family I am saddened to read of Shirley's passing. She was such a friendly lady, always w/ a smile to share. My father, Jimmie, always enjoyed her friendly greeting when he walked in the bank, or when he was on one of his walks, and she and David were out on the porch, always had time for a friendly visit. Peace to your Family.

All of these memories and condolences are a testament to who Shirley was. . . a kind, caring person who could always make a person feel good about themselves. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Dave.
~ Marita and Randy Thomas - July 22, 2014
Shirley Orr was an amazing woman and one of my most favorite people in Paola. Her smile and cheerful demeanor were so contagious, I find myself smiling just thinking about her. Whenever Shirley would come into the newspaper office, she wouldn't just hug me, she would also put her hands on both sides of my face, look me in the eye, smile real big and ask me how I was doing. She genuinely cared about her friends and family. The Paola community won't be the same without her. My deepest condolences to David, Michael, Mark and the entire family.
~ Brian McCauley - July 22, 2014
Shirley was one of the few people you meet in your life that make you glad you knew her. She was always a ray of sunshine to everyone she knew. My condolences to all her loved ones
~ Jacquline (Hickman) Seyler - July 22, 2014

~ Michael Bostick - July 21, 2014
Shirley was such a nice person. She always made everyone feel special. She was a joy to talk with and lived her life in such a Christian way.
My sympathy to the family. I used to be Bea Gangel but am now married to Hal Hamilton. My daughter, Christine, was in school with your boys.
Shirley will be greatly missed.
~ Bea Hamilton - July 21, 2014
Our sincerest condolences on your loss. Shirley was a wonderful lady who always had a smile on her face and was always asking about our kids, etc.
Rest in peace.......
~ Bill and Davina Garrison - July 21, 2014
Rest in peace Shirley. I will always remember you as a friend to everyone and a heart bigger than the universe. You were so giving and caring and kind and I love you for all that you were. God bless you David and your family. I know how much you are going to miss her. Sending peace, love and light to all of you. And whatever you do, you must keep living. Shirley wouldn't want it any other way. Marla Biggs
~ Marla Biggs - July 21, 2014
Shirley was my cousin and I loved her dearly. She was always full of life. She loved her husband and boys and grandchildren. She will be missed by all.
~ Dorothy OKeefe (Trageser) - July 21, 2014
My Mom Valeta McDowell was fortunate enough to have bowled with Shirley in late 1960's and I got to bowl with her in the 1970's she was a lot of fun to be around.
~ shelia Evans - July 20, 2014
I wish I would have known Shirley better. I only delivered her mail but I knew they were awesome people! In my thoughts and prayers!
~ Sally Seyler - July 20, 2014
I was one of those lucky enough to ride around in Shirley's old brown car (never knew what it was) in high school and after I left Paola and then returned to visit my family, Shirley was still the same friend, always caring, always interested in whatever was going on in my life. I miss her. I know she won't be there the next time I make it home. She was such a sweetheart in so many ways. She also had so many struggles, but she was a fighter. I had understood that the cancer was in remission, but the nasty stuff came back. Please know Dave, Michael, Mark, Edith, that my heart goes out to all of you.
~ Edith (Edie) McKaig Johnson - July 20, 2014
I still am at a loss for words! Everything that has been said about Shirley is so true!! David thank you for keeping us updated at the office. The whole family are in my prayers .

Shirley you will be missed by so many! No matter at what point in your life I saw you, you always had time to visit. Your ability to make everyone feel instantly comfortable, loved, cared about, befriended, and important to you was a true blessing. My life was richly blessed because you were a part of it. God Bless you and your family!
~ Rita and Frankie Noel - July 20, 2014
I met Shirley at Body Maxx and she immediately became my workout buddy. I looked forward to seeing her daily and sharing family tales and funny stories with her. Shirley always spoke lovingly of her family and friends. She was driven to improve her health and was so determined to beat her cancer. She fought a very courageous battle. We will miss you Shirley.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you David, Mike, Mark and family.

~ Darren Whaley - July 20, 2014
Shirley Orr is one of a kind. Never knew her to complain, always smiled and had a funny story to tell or a hug to help you find your smile if it was missing. She loved life! It showed, she was devoted to enjoying each day and being grateful to have that day with her family and friends. She will be missed but not forgotten in the hearts of many. My deepest condolences to David and the boys and their families. What wonderful memories you have to remember of her and how lucky were you to have been hers. God Bless.
~ Darryl & Janet White - July 20, 2014
Shirley was absolutely my favorite person I've ever known. I got to know her when she was working in the bank and I don't know how many times she helped me straighten out our checkbook. She was so patient and there was never a not again, but a bring it in and we'll see what we can do. Then it became a joke when we would see each other. I always felt like she was truly glad to see me and always felt her love for her boys, husband and grandchildren. How lucky am I to have gotten to know this wonderful, special lady.
See you later Shirley, you'll always be remembered.
~ Laura Prothe - July 20, 2014
Shirley and I shared some fantastic conversations over the last year. Talking about what Mike and Mark meant to my family and I. Stories she hadn't heard that changed my life.
When I was the paperboy for the Miami County Republican (Republic) she would get people to buy copies while she was at work that I'm sure they didn't need, just to help me out. It wasn't much to them, 50 cents, but it was a lot to me. Shirley was just that kind of person. Shirley did for others more than she'll ever know.
Even as a boy, she talked to me like more than a child. Always there for a hug. She's one of the many reasons Paola was a place that was like family. Shirley blessed the community with herself and family.
~ Justin Manning - July 20, 2014
So sorry to learn of Shirley's passing. My memory of her is that she did, indeed, make me feel special, like someone she cared about. Sandy and I send our sympathies to her family.

I meet Shirley through the gym and church. She always had a smile and welcoming spirit. Her zest for life and love for others was apparent in all she said and did. Welcome home Shirley. You will be missed, but not forgotten. Love and prayers to the family.
~ Patty Lage - July 19, 2014
I had the honor of working with Shirley many years ago at the bank. She was such a wonderful role model and an inspiration to all she met. She always had a smile on her face and loved life and everyone she met. She was a compassionate person and had a zest for life. Shirley, you will be greatly missed. Sending thoughts and prayers to all of your family.
~ Kerri (Ness) McNeal - July 19, 2014

Shirley Orr, a beautiful woman with a fun-loving spirit who could brighten your day. She is whole and healthy now. My thoughts and prayers are with all of her family who will miss her presence here on earth. May God's loving arms embrace you as you grieve.
~ Joy Biard - July 18, 2014
shirley was such a great lady that will be missed my thoughts and prayers go out to the family.... she was always so nice to me....
~ violet longmire - July 18, 2014
Shirley will be missed so much by so many. She was a very special person. She always made me feel good when we talked. We could go for months and not see each other and then we would run into each other and pick up a conversation just like we had just talked the day before. Shirley was truly one of God's Angels on earth.
~ Marsha Courtney - July 18, 2014
When I first moved here I had the privilege of working with Shirley at the Drive in at Miami Co Natl bank. She took me under her wing and showed me the ropes, there wasn't one person that came in that didn't know Shirley. From that moment on we were good friends. I will miss her sillyness and laugh!
~ Katie Forck - July 18, 2014
I've known Shirley for 30 years. She always had a smile on her face. She treated me and my sister Lizann like family.
Certain community events will never be the same for me. Especially the "On Your Mark 5K".
She was totally dedicated to her family. She spoke of her children and grandchildren often. She is loved and will always be missed!
~ Loralei Crum - July 18, 2014
Shirley leaves a memorable legacy to her husband, children and grandchildren. All who knew her were blessed to call her friend. She is worshiping at the feet of Jesus being reunited with her father also. May your memories bring peace and comfort to the family and friends she leaves behind. Rest in peace beautiful lady!
~ David & Dixie Borovicka - July 18, 2014
So many memories for so many years that we have known Shirley and David and such great friends that last forever. Will miss her so very much
and know that she is at peace now after such a courageous fight to whip her cancer. Love to all of your family. Mary and Doug Minden
~ Mary Minden - July 18, 2014
It's all been said, Shirley was one of a kind, I feel very blessed that I could call her my friend. Love you Shirley! David, Michael, Mark and families, God Bless You for sharing her with us. May she rest easy and watch over us as we learn to carry on without her.
~ Debbie Wilper - July 18, 2014
What a fine example of a life well lived......her faith in Our Lord, her love of family and friends all given her special positive zest and passion. An example I shall strive to follow. With special thoughts and prayers for David, Mike, Mark and her Grandkids.
~ Cathy Stallbaumer - July 17, 2014
Dave and sons,
I will always have very fond memories of Shirley.....her smile.....her kindness.....her VERY big heart and her just being her! Shirley never knew a stranger and had a smile for everyone no matter how bad she felt. She will be missed in our community....seems like everyone knew her. It just doesn't seem right that she has left us....what an amazing woman!!
Sending prayers and love!
Missing you Shirley!
~ Richard & Ilamay Evans - July 17, 2014
Shirley was a very loving and caring person. Going to school together in
Louisburg, playing softball and all the things girls do. We always had lots
of fun. I am lucky to have had her in my life. Heaven will liven up now.
David, Michael, and Mark, I am so sorry for your loss.
~ Mary Ann Taylor - July 17, 2014
When David & Shirley married nearly 56 years ago they moved into a duplex across from Holy Trinity School and we resided in the other side. We had so much fun in those days, played many card games and over the many years since have been friends. We've had good camping trips and a few bad ones but those stories always bring a laugh. She was a good neighbor and a fun one. I will cherish those good times. I pray that those good memories outlast the recent years when times have been tough for you David. Many people care and will try to be there for you. God Bless your family at the sad time. Lon and Mary Ann
~ Mary Ann & Lon Thornton - July 17, 2014
It has been my extreme pleasure to have know Shirley. We only really knew each other from Holy Trinity & Body Maxx gym, but she made me feel like a long-time friend. You could not have chosen a better picture of her to post! It truly shows her joy of life, compassion, love of family and friends, and more adjectives than I could mention.
I will cherish what time I spent with her, remember her smiles, laughs & hugs!
A beautiful woman has been welcomed by our Wonderful, Loving God!!
~ Charlene Weiss - July 17, 2014
Our friend and neighbor, Shirley, was the happiest, funniest, kindest, sweetest, most generous and giving person I have ever met. When Steve and I moved from our Kaskaskia house I missed seeing Shirley playing with the grandkids, working in the garden with Dave, and placing decorations all over her front porch for various holidays. We had fun swimming in the pool together and drinking wine coolers. Your kind and generous spirit will live on forever, Shirley. Be at peace, friend.
~ Brenda Wrischnik - July 17, 2014
Miss you already. Everyone who knew Shirley was a better person for having her in their life!!
Thank you David and family for sharing her with all of us...
