Shirley was preceeded in death
by her parents, her sister Grace, and daughter

She was instrumental in
advancing Justice Louis J. Ceci's career through her fiercely loyal
love, encouragement and support. They loved to travel, enjoying
immensely their ocean cruises, and exploring their heritages in Italy,
Switzerland, and Germany. They also enjoyed building their homes in
the Town of Jackson, Glendale, Fitchburg, the Town of Brookfield, and
St. Petersburg, FL.

Shirley, her wonderful laugh
and radiant smile will live in our hearts forever.

We ask that you join us in prayer
for Justice Ceci and his family during this difficult
