Being an entrepreneur was just one more of her multi-talents. Buying, improving and reselling many small businesses and properties that enabled her to support and her children Robert (Sarah) Thompson and Jolie McMullan. She is also survived by her three granddaughters: Milissa McMullan, Jennifer (Justin) Driessen and Allison Thompson, two great-granddaughters, Uma and Olivia, two great-grandsons, Dylan and Connor, one sister and many extended family, as well as her precious cats, Tuffy and Punch. She was predeceased by her beloved mother, Nellie Skoblack, father, Tom Skoblack, Glen Thompson, her sister Marion and many male suitors, all of whom adored her.

At Shirley’s request, no funeral will be held. Cremation was held, with her ashes being scattered in a location of her choice.

Donations may be made in memory of Shirley to PETA (www.peta.org/donate) or any other animal organization of your choice.

“Love her or loathe her, it was impossible to ignore her.”
