Shirley enjoyed her stay at Calvary Homes and appreciated the exceptional care she received there.

Shirley was one of my favorite relatives. We live in Belleville Il. now and planned to visit with her when we were in Lancaster in September but because of the virus that didn’t happen. I regret that. May she rest in peace. Jimmy Grimm

I am so fortunate to have known Shirley. For many years, we started the new year with a toast and pork and sauerkraut. She was always a pleasure to spend time with, always positive, even in her last days here on earth. She will be sorely missed.Dawn Ross
