Shirley married Melvin Frederick Seckfort, the love of her life at Friedens United Church of Christ, May 16, 1959 and they spent 62 wonderful years together. This union brought three children, Donald, Linda and David. Shirley was a homemaker while her children were younger and was very active in her families' lives volunteering as both a Boy Scout and Girl Scout Leader for over eight years and teaching Sunday school for over ten years. She enjoyed sewing and making many of her children's clothes, cooking large meals for family gatherings, baking, tole painting, crafts and scrap booking in her free time. As a family they camped all over the United States for many years and when her children were older, she returned to work as a travel agent providing her the opportunity to travel to Europe, Aruba, Nova Scotia, Alaska, Panama Canal, Mackinaw Island and Hawaii several times. While she loved to travel and see other parts of the world, her greatest joy came from spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
