Wood, Shirley Belle
March 31, 1935 — November 29, 2015

Every so often tragedy strikes. Heaven has decided to take our mom/nana in a tragic accident on Sunday, November 29, 2015. Just goes to show you that the Angels on the other side needed a new angel to shake things up and make things more interesting (and that she will do). Shirley was predeceased by her parents, Charles and Jean Thurber and brother, Don Thurber. She leaves to cherish her memory her sisters, Lorraine (Neil) Songer, Ev (Glen) Fiske; brother, Dave (Yvonne) Thurber; sisters-in-law, Jeanie and Donna Thurber; daughters, Kathy (Garnet) Hjelsing, Connie (Chuck) Brazel, Diane Songer and Brenda Baskerville. She also leaves to mourn seven grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

A celebration of Shirley’s life was held at 2 p.m., Friday, December 4, 2015 at the Craik Community Legion Hall. For friends so wishing, memorial donations in memory of Shirley may be directed to a charity of choice.

Hanson’s Funeral Home of Davidson was in care of arrangements.
