Mary and Alex Drucker says
November 5, 2022 at 10:34 pmOur deepest love and sympathy to “Aunt” Shirley’s family. She was a dear friend to our mom, Mary Helen Drucker, for over 60 years. Shirley and Mary Helen considered themselves more as sisters and so we grew up knowing her as Aunt Shirley. It was a privilege to have Shirley in our lives and she will be missed.
