Shirley Ann Wilson, a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, passed away peacefully on July 25, 2024. Born on November 9, 1934, to the late Alexander and Emma (nee Ruppel) Schuppe, Shirley touched the lives of many with her humor, kindness, and dedication to her family.

Shirley married the love of her life, Bruce Wilson, on May 3, 1958, and together they built a beautiful family. Shirley cherished every moment spent with her husband and children, instilling in them values of care and compassion. Bruce preceded her in death on May 11, 2011.

Shirley found joy in the simple pleasures of life. Whether it was playing cards, solving puzzles, or immersing herself in a good book, she embraced every moment to the fullest. She loved watching shark movies with Kris, and her Fun Fridays with her best gals, Pam and Emma, were a highlight of her week.

Shirley’s love extended beyond her immediate family. For five decades, she watched over the neighborhood children, earning the title of the “neighborhood mom” for her genuine care and attention towards all those around her.

Shirley will be lovingly remembered by her children, Sherry, Wendy, Kris; grandchildren, Brad, Joey, Kenny (Anna), Pam (Ezra), Thea (Kyle), Jessi (David), Phillip, Emma (Ryan); great-grandchildren, Amber, Lil’ Brad, Casey, Amanda, Mariah, Angela, Bridget (Javis), Hailey, Callie, Myley, Brianne, Micah, Riley, Corbin, Parker, Shelby, James; great-great-grandchildren, Kolton, Kayson, Sophia, Freya; sisters, Susan (Ken), Linda, Mary; special friends, Marianne, and Jimmy, all of whom she cherished deeply. She leaves behind a legacy of love and kindness that will continue to inspire those who knew her.

A memorial service to celebrate Shirley’s life will be held at Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home and Crematory, 4600 County Line Road, on Friday, August 2, 2024, at 11:00 am. Prior to the service, a public visitation will be held at the same location at 9:00 am. Interment will occur on a later date at West Lawn Memorial Park.

As we gather to bid farewell to Shirley, let us remember her with joy and gratitude for the love she shared and the lives she touched. May her legacy of kindness and compassion live on in our hearts forever.

Testimonials

Thank you for an exceptional service for our mother – Juan Munoz

My siblings and I recently had the unfortunate experience of having to plan a funeral for our beloved mother – Juana Munoz. During this difficult time, we were fortunate enough to come across a funeral home that truly went above and beyond what was expected. Their attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our comfort and safety throughout the entire process was truly remarkable.

From the moment we stepped foot into the funeral home, we were greeted with warmth and compassion. The staff members, but specifically Mark was incredibly understanding and empathetic, making us feel at ease during such a challenging time. Mark took the time to listen to our needs and wishes, and his guidance and support were invaluable.

One aspect that truly stood out was Mark’s meticulous attention to detail. He paid close attention to every aspect of the funeral arrangements, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. From the floral arrangements to the music selection, every detail was carefully considered and executed flawlessly. Mark even noticed that the temperature in the room was getting warm and promptly adjusted it to ensure our comfort.

What impressed me the most was their commitment to our safety. Mark and his team took every precaution to ensure that our family and guests were protected throughout the entire process. From the funeral home to the cemetery, Mark made sure that all safety measures were in place, including providing hand sanitizers, and even arranging for additional staff members to assist with crowd control.

Furthermore, Mark’s professionalism and organization was evident in every aspect of the funeral service. He coordinated seamlessly with the cemetery staff, ensuring a smooth transition from the funeral home to the final resting place. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence truly made a difference in our overall experience.

In addition to their exceptional service, the funeral home also provided us with resources and support beyond the funeral itself. They offered grief counseling services and connected us with local support groups, which proved to be invaluable during our grieving process.

Overall, we cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Mark and broader Draeger Langendorf team. Their attention to detail, commitment to our safety, and genuine compassion made a difficult time a little more bearable. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of funeral arrangements, as they truly go above and beyond to ensure that every detail is taken care of and that families are supported throughout the entire process.

– Epifanio and The Munoz Family
