A lot of loving thanks to all our family that were there in our time of need. Thanks to all our great friends we enjoyed parties and dances with and to all their love in time of need. Thanks to Doctors Freeman, Duranni, Sen and the Cancer Center.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made the Tri-City Cancer Center, 7350 W. Deschutes Ave. Kennewick, WA 99336 or a charity of your choice.
Shirley was a great lady and our favorite neighbor for over 40 years. Loved to tease her just make her laugh. We will always remember Shirley and continue our prayers for her.
Best wishes to the family of Shirley. I know what they are going through. I lost my mom a little over four years ago and this past Sunday, March 6, 2005, my dad passed away. We will be interring my father on the same day as Shirley’s funeral so I will be unable to attend her funeral. Peace and good will to your family.

My deepest sympathy to you, Jack, and the whole Matheny family. Shirley was a wonderful, loving person and I will miss her. Much love and prayers for you, Deb
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I will always recall seeing the two of you together at our Rambling Rover meetings, trips and picnics Never one without the other. I know you were both devoted to one another it was so obvious. I am glad you had a wonderful life and shared the many blessings the good Lord has given you. God be with you, Jack to give you strength and fond memories of your life together so you may carry on. Shirley will be missed. Who ever one has loved never is really gone from us as we carry them with us forever.
