Notes:

WILIMINGTON, N.C. - Shirley Marie Herington passed away peacefully on Jan. 25, 2006.

Shirley was born in Dansville on May 6, 1945, the seventh child of Charles and Irene Perry, who predeceased her.

Shirley married Roger Allen Herington, her soul mate, in 1965. They enjoyed 41 years of loving marriage and raised three wonderful women: Morella Marie (Michael) Breckenridge, Lorie Ann (Todd) Morgan and Virginia Irene Herington.

Roger and Shirley proudly guided their daughters through college graduation and on to successful careers, as well as going back to school and obtaining her own college degree. They also enjoyed the pleasure of watching the marriage of their daughters Morella to Michael and Lorie Ann to Todd.

Morella blessed Shirley and Roger with two beautiful grandchildren, Adam (age 15) and Autumn (age 11). Virginia blessed them with a beautiful granddaughter, Rochell (age 14).

Shirley is also survived by her deeply loved brothers Gerald (Doris) and Ken (MaryLou) Perry and sisters Dot (Dick Bennett), Eileen (Charlie Wright), Gloria (Dick Kreiley) and Barbara (Nelson Thorpe); Roger's mother Marjorie Herington and sisters Nancy (Lee Durkee), Beverly (Hugh Ross) and Virginia (Harry Tesch) and brother Ernie (Norma); and numerous nieces and nephews.

Shirley's greatest talents were in bringing joy to the lives of others and sharing her zest for life. She was able to enjoy teaching her grandchildren some of her greatest talents: cooking, sewing, quilting and midnight shopping trips to Wal-Mart.

In March of 2004, Roger retired after 20 years at General Electric, and he and Shirley set off on their lifetime dream-a tour of the continental United States, Canada and Alaska in their RV. On their journey they took in the beauty of areas of the country they had never before seen; the Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana, British Columbia, Moab Utah, Arizona, Arkansas and the highlight of their trip, Alaska. They spent the entire summer there. Shirley saw Denali three times during this trip, went whitewater rafting, fishing for salmon, and deep sea fishing. She caught the largest halibut in the picture above.

Shirley and Roger traveled from the beginning of April to mid-October and their family never saw them happier. During the past year she lived her dream. They returned determined to sell their home and begin their 'nomadic life' of continuing their travels around the U.S., with the plan to return to Alaska in 2007.

Shirley's death came suddenly; she had been very happy, feeling well, and enjoying an excellent quality of life right up to the end. She went to sleep quietly, peacefully, painlessly and then simply slipped away. Her family's sadness and loss is without bounds, but we are grateful that the Lord took her peacefully and without pain and suffering.

A service to remember and celebrate the life of Shirley was held at Andrew's Mortuary, 1617 Market Street, Wilmington, N.C., on Sunday, Jan. 29 at 3 p.m. The family received friends and family at 2 p.m., who brought with them their fondest memories of Shirley to share.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Attn: Thanks and Giving, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105. (GCE, February 2, 2006, p4)
