In Memory Of
Shirley A. Smith
1948 - 2015
Singing was Shirley’s own way of worshipping her God, and she cherished the church choirs with whom she sang throughout the years. She was a member of Cathedral of Praise/Church on Strayer for more than 20 years, and most recently found a worship home with Walk the Word Ministry at the University of Toledo Scott Park Campus. Her family takes solace in knowing that she has been made whole once more, and is singing in Heaven’s Choir with the angels that she loved so much.
Shirley is survived by her beloved husband of 47 years Dale E. Smith; children Phyllis (Dennis) Bixler and Dale Jr. (Cindy) Smith; adored grandchildren Joseph and Shelby (fiancé, Anthony Chilson) Bixler, Taylor and Blake Smith; brother Paul (Marilyn) DeCello; sister Patricia Lewis; sister-in-law Debby (Frank) Dillon; many nieces and nephews; and her dear friend Beverly McGill. She was preceded in death by her parents, and siblings Joseph P. DeCello Jr. and Sally McHaffie.
The family will receive guests on Friday, May 1, 2015 from 2-8:00 p.m. at Newcomer Funeral Home, 4752 Heatherdowns Blvd., Toledo (419-381-1900). The Funeral Service will begin at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. Entombment will take place at Restlawn Memorial Park.
