So glad I got to know Gram over the last twelve and a half years. She was always so kind and warm. She was surprisingly funny too! She loved Penn State and could keep up with a sports conversation in a family of fanatics. Tatum and I are sad to miss her goodbyes on Tuesday but we are so glad she got to meet him a few months ago. Sending lots of love and happy memories.

Daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, GREAT Grandmother, friend, volunteer.
I think I should add # 1PSU fan to her list. What an accomplished and fulfilled life! Not only was she a wonderful role model for me as a mother-in-law, I also considered her a family friend. Even though she is not physically with us, she is not gone from our memories or everyday lives. I think we ought to all have some Tijuana taxi’s together and salute Gram!
Thank-you Gram-your life made a difference!

When I worked at Easton Hospital I would run into Shirley when she was volunteering. We would reminisce about the old Ridgewood Rd, Nulton Ave neighborhood. I am so sorry for your loss.

Condolences for your loss to Mr. Jones and the Jones family. Mrs. Jones was a wonderful woman. I enjoyed her company at family gatherings at Bob and Katie Jones’ home. May the Lord be with you, Mrs. Jones, and may you enjoy everlasting life.
