Shirley was not only a loving mother, she was also a proud grandmother leaving behind grandson Brandon Spinnato and two granddaughters Rose A. Spinnato and Violet J. Spinnato.
Shirley worked at UCONN before retiring. She was always ready to chat, eager to talk about what was going on in her life. One of Shirley’s favorite things to do, was to watch the birds and the wildlife in her backyard. She was known for feeding the wild animals because she felt like she was helping to take care of them. Shirley always meant the best in all she did in her life and was happy to spend her last few weeks with all her children before passing. Shirley will be missed by all who knew her.
