How Shirley will be missed!  I knew her as the mother of my good friend Cindy.  It was always a pleasure to chat with her during our visits - she had such a good heart.

But it has to be added that Shirley's tart humor could zap anyone who deserved it...her zingers were hilarious, and always on the mark.

If everyone had a mother like Shirley, the world would be a much, much better place.  Rest in peace, lovely lady.

Shirley and her family are great friends to the Chiovare family, especially our mother Angie..Shirley and Angie were the best of friends while living in Alhambra.  Now there back together again, having great conversations..We will miss her friendship tremendously.  She was always great at the surprise phone calls. She knew just when to call to boost your spirits.  To all the Mullen family,  we will cherish a lifetime of wonderful memories ♥..Sending lots of love , The Chiovare Family 

So sorry to hear that Shirley has passed, she was a considerate lady, she sent us cards & letters throughout the years.  Her brother, Harry was my husband’s stepdad, and my father -in-law.  Rest in peace Shirley ❤️

Here is one of the most recent memories of tea time with Shirley. My memories go back at least 45 years ago when I was so enamored by Shirley’s upbeat, personality, and sense of humor. I would love to have a list of Shirley’s sayings and colloquialisms! A priceless human being, her contributions to organizations like Alhambra Day Nursery and to individuals, such as her long-standing friends is priceless and treasured!

I was Shirley’s Gardner for many years. What I remember is her kindness always had a smile on her face always gave us water and cookies. The nicest person you could meet she always told me about God and she always said I think God’s mad at us she always asked about my family my kids and my wife. May God receive surely in heaven there’s a new angel

We were lucky enough to have met Shirley through our friendship with Christopher. My whole family was so fond and full of adoration for her. Her love and kindness so brightly shined through. What a great example she was because her entire family is equally loving and kind. We always enjoyed talking with her at the Mullen Manor during the many parties. We had great love for her.  She has left a mark that will not be forgotten. Her beautiful smile and loving heart made a lasting impression on my family. She will be missed. Our deepest condolences to you all. Our love and prayers are with you. 

Shirley was a purveyor of love, friendship and wit. Shirley and the entire Mullen family opened their homes and lives to me and my family for decades. I have fond memories of the family gatherings. Phone conversations with Shirley were a delight...so full of honesty, empathy and laughter. Shirley may not be sitting in her chair any longer, however, her presence remains with us through her family's traits of love and friendship  just by the fact that I was part of this invitation to celebrate the life of and with Shirley. 

Thank you Shirley. Say hello to my family. Much love & condolences to the Mullen family.
