Shirley Offerman, 94, passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 9, at Ozark Riverview Manor in Ozark, Missouri. A longtime resident of Branson, Shirley was trained as a nurse during World War II and pursued that career in Kankakee, Illinois, where she grew up and raised her family. In later years, gardening and sewing were her passions.
She is survived by three daughters Mary Ann Cyr (George) of Springfield, Kathryn Offerman of Chicago, and Sue Sorrick (David) of Arden, North Carolina, as well as a sister, Judy Martin of Florence, Oregon.
Shirley is tending God's garden now.
