Shirley was known to her many friends as an avid entertainer, who had a love of all holidays, especially the 4th of July, and Christmas. Her love of Christmas parlayed into having her home photographed for Better Homes and Garden's Holiday Home Edition in December of 1973. A longtime member of St. Agustin's Church in Des Moines, Shirley's faith guided her as she lost her husband in 2001 to cancer. Left to honor her memory are Son, Patrick (Sarah) Mahany, of Des Moines, Brother, Donald Geier, of Windsor Heights, and her beloved Grandchildren, Kaitlyn and Kyle Mahany, of Des Moines and Stephanie Moulder of Houston, TX.
