Shirley's devotion to her two sons, Jerry and Ed, was unmatched. She was the absolute best mother, friend and confidante, always there to lend an ear and speak her mind if asked. She enjoyed life to its fullest with many interests and hobbies, including cooking, sewing, dancing, bowling, playing cards, as well as having her pilot’s license.
With over 25 years of service at Family HealthCare Associates (then Arlington Medical Associates), she progressed from Receptionist to Operations Manager. Those years were some of the best times of her life, where she made lifelong friends that she cherished.
Shirley will be dearly missed, but her family and friends thank her for all of the good times and memories.
Shirley is preceded in death by parents Eliza Jane Bunga and Raymond Iorio, and nephew Gary Sanderson. She is survived by sister Louise Sanderson of Auburn, NY, sons Jerry (Audrey) Behlau, Rochester, NY, Edward (Judy) Behlau, Arlington, TX, grandchildren Rebecca (Bill) Vermeulen, Katie (David) Boyanton, Vanessa Behlau, Dan Behlau, great grandchildren Taylor Behlau, Matthew Boyanton, Jackson Vermeulen, Kylar Vermeulen, Jared Jimerson, Jacob Jimerson, Allison Boyanton, Jordyn Jimerson, Jaclyn Jimerson, and great great grandson Louie James, nieces Sharon Sanderson and Sandy Sanderson, and nephews, Billy Sanderson and Tommy Sanderson,
And let us not forget her beloved Yorkie, Axel, who was the center of her life for the last 10 years.
