Shirley A. Minnick, 1930-2022
Entered into rest on December 21, 2022. Shirley was always full of life with a kind spirit and helping hand for all her children and other children from all walks of life; through her volunteer work at Make-A-Wish Foundation, Children’s Hospital (60-year celebration of Mickey Mouse), Camp Sunrise Family Camp for American Cancer Society, 1988 volunteer of the year Nominee, 1988 United Way of Greater St. Louis Mary Alice Messerly Volunteer of the Year Nominee, and St. Mary’s Hospice Care. When not involved with caregiving, Shirley was always present to provide support and love to her five children in their many activities, and finally a beautiful composer of poetry with many awards from various organizations.

I’ll always remember Mrs. Minnick greeting me with these words wherever and whenever she saw me, “kimmie, my child, how are you?” I always thought she resembled Debbie Reynolds and loved her low, soft southern draw. Obviously a very giving and kind person, living a long and loved life. I’m sending strength and comfort as I know these passed years have been pretty rough for the family. God bless you all.
Sorry for your loss and know that she and entire family is in my prayers
