Shirley Fix (August 22, 1961 - December 15, 2021)
She leaves behind her parents, Veronica and Kenneth; siblings Karen, Nancy (Mike), Joyce, and Kenny; nieces and nephews; and a great-niece and great-nephew.
She lived in Frankfurt, Germany for 2 years as a toddler and again for 5 years as a teenager. Shirley received a graduate degree in Elementary Education and recently retired after a long and loving career educating and caring for young children.
Shirley was an avid reader, a lover of jigsaw puzzles, a whiz at Sudoku puzzles, and recently learned to crochet. She was a huge fan of hot air balloons, visiting to watch races in New Mexico and here in Forest Park. She was excited to experience a ride in a balloon in Napa Valley, California.
Her family will miss her big smile and infectious giggle.
